HC Deb 27 May 1966 vol 729 c186W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will take steps, by legislation or otherwise, to introduce a special housing subsidy for areas which have a high proportion of caravan dwellers.

Mr. Mellish

If a local authority considers that there is a need to provide permanent housing for caravan dwellers, and can build the necessary houses within their approved housing programme, basic subsidy and supplementary subsidies where appropriate would' be payable under the proposed Housing Subsidies Bill.
