HC Deb 27 November 1975 vol 901 c240W
31. Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will issue a circular to suggest policy guidelines to be observed by the police when they are called upon by local authorities or others to move gipsies on from unauthorised parking places.

Dr. Summerskill

No. The action to be taken in individual cases is a matter for the chief officer of police concerned. Chief officers were advised by Home Office Circular 221/1968, of which a copy is in the Library of the House, of the provisions of the Caravan Sites Act 1968.
