§ Sir George YoungThe Mobile Homes Act 1975 applies to mobile home residents who own their mobile homes and rent the pitch from a licensed private site owner. In 1975 there were estimated to be 70,000 residential mobile homes in England and Wales, of which 83 per cent. were owner occupied and on privately owned sites, and so subject to the Act. Only about a third of residents, however, are estimated to have a Mobile Homes Act agreement.
