HC Deb 07 March 1973 vol 852 c119W
3. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is being done to assist local authorities to remove pseudo-gipsies who camp in caravans on roadside verges and elsewhere to the inconvenience of residents and the detriment of the environment.

Mr. Graham Page

Where a local authority has fulfilled its statutory duty to provide accommodation for gipsies, my right hon. and learned Friend is prepared to consider an application for designation under the Caravan Sites Act 1968.
