HC Deb 27 January 1971 vol 810 c128W
90. Miss Lestor

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation to enable local authorities to compensate caravan dwellers when they acquire their sites for redevelopment.

Mr. Graham Page

If the caravan dweller has a tenancy of the site he already has a possible claim to compensation but the question of the extension of such claims to a mere licensee gives rise to wide issues of general law which need consideration in the comprehensive review of the compensation code, which we are undertaking.
