HC Deb 11 July 1974 vol 876 cc577-8W
Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation to compel local authorities to provide a limited number of sites for caravans in areas frequented by the gipsy population.

Mr. Oakes

Part II of the Caravan Sites Act 1968 already requires local authorities, in specific terms, to provide adequate accommodation in the form of caravan sites for gipsies residing in or resorting to their area.
