Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will publish statistics on the number of evictions of Gypsies and Travellers in each of the years 2000 to 2006 under Section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 in England, Scotland and Wales respectively. [HL4369]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Communities and Local Government

Statistics on the number of evictions under Section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 may be held by local police forces. However, these figures are not held centrally.
