Traveller Accommodation

EDM number 79 in 2003-04, proposed by Kevin McNamara on 26/11/2003.

That this House is deeply concerned that the shortfall of Traveller sites is causing severe hardship for the Gypsy and Traveller community and is leading to a deterioration in relations between the Traveller and settled community; notes that the Institute for Public Policy Research has produced proposals for Traveller sites entitled 'Moving On', which has received widespread support, further notes that the ODPM Select Committee report on the draft Housing Bill has called upon the Government to introduce a statutory duty on local authorities to provide and facilitate Gypsy and Traveller sites; calls upon the Government to ensure that mechanisms are urgently put in place to provide and facilitate a sufficient number of Traveller sites; and further notes such action is supported by the Institute for Public Policy Research, Local Government Association, Shelter, Children's Society, Traveller Law Reform Coalition and Commission for Racial Equality.

This motion has been signed by a total of 119 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
