answer text <p>There are a range of existing powers available for both the police and local authorities to tackle unauthorised encampments. The Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 provides specific powers to the police to move travellers from unauthorised encampments if certain criteria are met. The Home Office work closely with the police to ensure these powers are effective. However, the decision on whether to use these powers and remove travellers from a site is an independent decision to be made by the police.</p><p>A summary of the powers available to deal with unauthorised encampments has been published on the Government website at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dealing-with-illegal-and-unauthorised-encampments" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dealing-with-illegal-and-unauthorised-encampments</a></p> more like this

The MCA undertakes a comprehensive programme of monitoring and assurance visits and audits, and from January 2016 to March 2017, this has incurred costs of £156,692 based on travel costs, and resource costs for the staff undertaking this work.</p><p> </p><p><sup><sup>[1]</sup></sup> IMO Code of Recognized Organizations – Resolution MSC.349(92)</p><p><sup><sup>[2]</sup></sup> IMO Instruments Implementation Code – Resolution A.1070(28)</p><p><sup><sup>[3]</sup></sup> Directive 2009/15/EC on common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organisations and for the relevant activities of maritime administrations</p>
