Gypsy and Traveller Sites

Question
What progress has been made in providing security of tenure for Gypsies and Travellers on local authority sites.
Answer

I begin by paying to tribute to my hon. Friend for her chairing of the all-party group on Gypsy and Traveller law reform. The Government remain committed to bringing security of tenure to local authority Gypsy and Traveller sites, which is a complex issue involving amendments to primary legislation that we must get right. Statutory instruments will be laid as soon as parliamentary time is available.
