§ Mr. Cohenasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation to prohibit the use of land for fairs without prior planning permission in all circumstances; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MacfarlaneNo. Temporary planning permission is available in the General Development Order 1977 for the use of land for fairs for up to 28 days in total in any calendar year, and I have no reason to suppose that any changes in these arrangements are necessary.
