HC Deb 18 April 1990 vol 170 c867W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what information his Department gathered in the process of granting designation to the local authority on(a) the location of private caravan sites in Bradford, (b) by whom they are owned and managed, (c) who has applied to operate and manage additional private sites, (d) rentals being charged by private site owners and (e) rental charges levied by Bradford council at caravan sites owned by the council.

Mr. Chope

We are aware that there are two private gipsy caravan sites in the metropolitan district which can accommodate a total of 12 gipsy caravans and that the city council's policy will be to encourage provision of small-scale private sites. We have no detailed information on the operation of these sites or on rental charges levied by Bradford council at the caravan sites that it owns.
