HC Deb 20 July 1943 vol 391 c705W
Mr. Windsor

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works whether his attention has been called to the diseased and dangerous condition of some of the trees on Primrose Hill; and whether it is proposed to take any action?

Mr. Hicks

Yes, Sir. The Italian poplars on Primrose Hill have been examined by experts, who agree that the trees are badly affected with canker and should be removed. It is hoped to fell them and dispose of the timber during the coming winter and to initiate immediately a replanting programme with various other kinds of suitable trees.
