HC Deb 21 January 1972 vol 829 cc284-5W
Dame Patricia Hornsby-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many local authorities have responded to his request to make provision for permanent gipsy sites; and how many local authorities have made no such provision.

Mr. Graham Page

26 local authorities have provided 42 sites; 32 county councils and 98 London and county borough councils have made no provision. Some of these have applied for exemption under the statute or are under no statutory duty to make provision. The others have site proposals at various stages of consideration or execution.
