§ 37. Mr. Biffenasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what instructions have been given to the Property Services Agency concerning the use of Crown land for gipsy encampments.
§ Mr. MarksNo specific instructions have been given to the Property Services Agency. However, Government Departments, including the Property Services Agency, are aware of the advice which successive Governments have given to local authorities that until enough gipsy caravan sites have been provided gipsies should not needlessly be evicted from land on which they are camping illegally.
