HC Deb 31 March 1987 vol 113 cc439-40W
Mr. Hubbard-Miles

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when further consultation on legislation to unify licensing controls over caravan and tent sites is likely to take place.

Mr. Waldegrave

The Department and the Welsh Office will today circulate a consultation paper to local authority associations and interested organisations in England and Wales. This proposes certain minor amendments to the proposals for introducing a single site licensing system for both tents and caravans, which were the subject of a private Member's Bill introduced by my hon. Friend the Member for Bridgend (Mr. Hubbard-Miles) in the 1983–84

Mr. Chope

The information is as follows:

Session of Parliament. Consultation should also enable us to confirm that there remains a consensus in favour of reform of the existing legislation. I shall arrange for copies to be placed in the Library.
