HC Deb 18 July 1974 vol 877 c274W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if agreement has now been reached on a site in South Gwent under the Caravan Sites Act 1968 in order to prevent annoyance and inconvenience to local residents caused by unauthorised gipsy encampments; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Morris

It is the responsibility of the county council to provide sites for gipsies. I understand that it is at present considering possible sites in the Newport area but none has so far been approved.
