Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many representations he has received from(a) hon. Members, (b) members of the general public and (c) chambers of trade and other trade organisations requesting tighter controls and regulation of car boot sales.

Mr. Baldry

Since the start of this parliamentary Session on 18 November 1993, we have received 10 letters from hon. Members requesting tighter planning controls on car boot sales.

The Department and its regional offices receive numerous representations on a whole range of issues affecting car boot sales, but further information in the form requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
