Written question asked by Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Henley (Conservative) on Thursday, 10 November 2011.
Encampments
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they are considering to ensure that encampments are not allowed to be set up on public areas or private land.
- Answer
-
The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 allows local authorities to attach the power of seizure to their by-laws for encampments on local authority land. These provisions will be commenced shortly. The Government are also looking at existing laws to see whether they need to be changed so that camps set up unlawfully can be dealt with more quickly.
