Mr. Geraint Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what consultations he is having with local authorities in mid-Wales regarding the overnight parking facilities for touring caravans in the area; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. David Hunt

None, except in respect of a request to issue directions to Powys county council under section 9 of the Caravan Sites Act 1968 in relation to gipsy sites.

Mr. Geraint Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many overnight parking sites there are in Wales for touring caravans; what were the corresponding figures for 1970 and 1980; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. David Hunt

The information requested is not held centrally except in relation to gipsy sites. There are currently two transit sites for gipsies in Wales; one at Welshpool and one at Llandegai near Bangor. Comparable figures for 1970 and 1980 are not available.

Mr. Geraint Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many caravan sites there are in Cardiganshire; what are the corresponding figures for 1965, 1975 and 1985, and if he will make a statement.

Mr. David Hunt

The information requested is not held centrally except in relation to gipsy sites. Statistics supplied by the local authority show that there were no authorised gipsy sites in Ceredigion district in July 1985 or in July 1991. No figures are available for 1965 or 1975.
