HC Deb 31 January 1961 vol 633 c757
17. Mr. Ellis Smith

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will make a statement on the results obtained in response to the circulars sent to local authorities asking them to plant more trees; and what further action it is intended to take.

Sir K. Joseph

Interest has been stimulated among local authorities both by circulars and by my Department's book, Trees in Town and City, for which there is a continuing demand. My right hon. Friend has no further action in mind at present, but he will gladly consider suggestions.
