Inquiry status: Oral evidence sessions held. Report in preparation.
Earlier in the year the Government signalled its intention to carry out a consultation exercise on a package of measures, which have not yet emerged. The Committee sees its inquiry as identifying key concerns and, if necessary, examining the need for legislative changes.
At the start of the first oral evidence session on 5 March 2012 the Chair made the following statement:“We have received [...] over 220 written memoranda-most of which have now been published on the Committee’s website. Where those who have submitted written evidence have asked for their names to be withheld and where serious allegations have been made directly against individuals, mostly but not exclusively by park home owners against site owners, names and addresses have been redacted in the published material. The material on the webpage, therefore, gives a substantially anonymised record of matters where many consider there are problems.”
