Hippies And Other New Age Travellers

EDM number 294 in 1992-93, proposed by Geoffrey Clifton-Brown on 19/06/1992.

That this House welcomes the decision of the Department of the Environment to issue a consultation paper as soon as possible concerning the problems caused to innocent law-abiding citizens as a result of the behaviour of new age and other travellers and hippies, who invaded private land at Lechlade and elsewhere recently in both large and small groups; and looks forward to the opportunity to have a full debate on the Government's proposals on this subject in the near future so as to raise matters of importance on how best to deal with this growing problem.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
