§ Mr. Murphyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will be prepared to make available to the public the surplus plants produced in the Royal parks rather than have them destroyed as at present.
§ Mr. MonroNo surplus plants are produced in the Royal parks, though some additional plants are grown to cover possible replacements.
The work and accounting arrangements involved in arranging sales to the public would not justify the receipts involved, nor is manpower available for the task.
