HC Deb 06 August 1975 vol 897 cc281-2W
Mr. Costain

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in view of the costs of assessing and collecting rates from resident caravans, if he will introduce legislation to tax them on a superficial floor area basis, payment being proved by the display of a licence disc as in the case of motor cars, and the revenue going to the local authority.

Mr. John Silkin

No. I do not think this the best solution to the problem.
