HC Deb 14 December 1948 vol 459 cc138-9W
99. Mr. Skeffington-Lodge

asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning whether he has taken note of the encouraging response in Bedfordshire to an appeal by the county council to landowners to plant new trees to replace those lost by disease, old age and indiscriminate felling; and whether he will represent to local authorities in other parts of the country the desirability of their taking a lead in this matter

Mr. King

I think that action by county councils on the lines referred to is generally desirable and my hon. Friend's question will help to call attention to the matter.
