§ Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has now received proposals for the setting up of gipsy caravan sites from the eight counties, 12 county boroughs and seven London boroughs in England which had not submitted them by 4th November last.
§ Mr. Graham PageMy right hon. Friend has received proposals from one more county borough council and one more London borough council. Three more county borough councils have applied for exemption from the duty of site provision.
§ Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has set a time limit by which local authorities shall have carried out their obligations under Part II of the Caravan Sites Act, 1968, to set up sites for gipsies residing in or resorting to their areas.
§ Mr. Graham PageNo, but I look to all local authorities to carry out their statutory obligation as quickly as possible.
