<p>On 6 February, the Home Secretary announced a set of measures to extend powers
available to the police, which we believe will enable unauthorised encampments to
be tackled more effectively. The Written Ministerial Statement can be found at <a

Home Secretary also made clear that the Home Office would conduct a review into how
the Government can criminalise unauthorised encampments. This review is currently
underway, and a public consultation will be launched on the final set of proposals
this summer.</p>
