HC Deb 23 May 1972 vol 837 c357W
Mr. Delargy

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress has been made towards replanting Rainbow Shaw in Linford, Thurrock, Essex.

Mr. Graham Page

A condition of planning permission for sand and gravel working in this area, given on appeal by a former Minister of Housing and Local Government, was that a tree planting scheme should be agreed between the company and the local planning authority who are responsible for seeing that the condition is fulfilled. I suggest that the hon. Member should enquire of the Essex County Council about the progress made towards replanting Rainbow Shaw.
