HC Deb 19 November 1968 vol 773 cc247-8W
51. Mr. Dance

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, in view of the fact that tinkers are forcing gypsies to leave sites provided for the latter by local authorities, if he will now introduce legislation to provide for the supervision of gypsy sites by wardens.

Mr. Greenwood

No. Local authorities can already appoint wardens to supervise gypsy sites under their general powers to manage them. Many have done so.
