HC Deb 04 July 1980 vol 987 cc742-3W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Minister of Transport if he has any plans to seal off the disused land owned by the Ministry of Transport between the A1(M) and the Great North road at "The Frythe" to avoid the continual trespassing by gipsies and other travellers, and their camping on this site.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

A trench has been dug and earth has been tipped to fill the gap in the fence. The fence itself will be repaired as soon as possible.
