HC Deb 26 July 1972 vol 841 c307W
85. Mr. Loveridge

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in the light of assurances from his Department given in April, 1972, to the London Borough of Havering, he will now decide to designate the area under the Caravan Sites Act, 1968, in view of the parking facilities provided by the borough, and of the increased number of unauthorised encampments that have arisen.

Mr. Graham Page

My right hon. Friend has decided in the light of representations by the Gypsy Council that designation should be deferred for the time being. A letter explaining this is being sent to Havering London Borough Council.
