§ 75. Mr. Andrew MacKayasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what recent representations he has received about the laws of trespass.
§ Mr. MellorWe regularly receive representations about the law on squatting. In recent months we have also received representations about the problems concerned by such groups as the Peace Convoy, the members of which trespass on land with intent to reside. Section 39 of the Public Order Act 1986, when in force, will provide the police with a power in certain circumstances to direct such trespassers to quit the land.
