Basildon and Billericay Tory MP has put forward an early day motion to congratulate Basildon Council for the successful Dale Farm eviction.

Mr Baron also thanked local residents for their support.

Mr Baron said: “The council, Essex Police and all others involved in clearing this illegal traveller site did an exceptionally good job. They showed complete professionalism, in spite of intense provocation at times. This Parliamentary Motion marks this.”

“Bishops, actresses, protestors, travellers and others all quoted human rights against us. They forget that we all have human rights.”
