HC Deb 29 July 1925 vol 187 cc447-8W
Mr. GROVES

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider taking joint action with the Ministry of Labour and the various local authorities in order to secure that in industrial areas, such as West Ham, a survey be made of the streets which to-day are treeless, and in the approaching season arrange for the systematic planting of trees, thereby giving employment and making the streets more cheerful?

Sir K. WOOD

I regret that I cannot promise to undertake action of the kind suggested, in view of the present financial position of such authorities as West Ham.
