§ 42. Mr. HALL-CAINEasked the Minister of Transport whether he will take steps to encourage highway authorities who have not already planted trees alongside the roads under their control to make a special effort to do so in connection with the Coronation; and whether he will advise such authorities to plant fruit trees along the roads wherever practicable?
§ Mr. TINKERWill the hon. and gallant Gentleman see that lighting arrangements are provided before the trees are planted, since, as he is probably aware, on these Lancashire roads the trees that were planted are constantly being knocked down because there are no lighting arrangements?
Captain HUDSONMy right hon. Friend is anxious to see these roads both properly lighted and properly bordered with trees.
§ Mr. PALINGDo I understand that the right hon. Gentleman is going to carry out that process on the new roads under his jurisdiction?
Captain HUDSONIn his Second Reading speech on the Trunk Roads Bill, my right hon. Friend described what he hoped the trunk roads would be like.
