HC Deb 18 June 1901 vol 95 cc720-1
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works, in view of the fact that many of the old oaks in Richmond Park are decaying, will he say whether arrangements can be made for the planting of oak saplings.

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKS (Mr. AKERS DOUGLAS, Kent, St. Augustine's)

A large amount of tree planting is done each year in Richmond Park. For instance, last year 100 young oaks and 250 forest trees were planted. If the hon. Member likes to see the Return of the number of trees planted annually for the last few years I shall be happy to show it to him.
