HC Deb 31 July 1956 vol 557 cc118-9W
104. Mr. Chapman

asked the Minister of Works whether he will give figures showing the volume and the new starts of private building of different kinds in the months before and since the beginning of the credit squeeze.

Mr. Buchan-Hepburn

Monthly figures are available for new houses started, but figures for other new building are collected quarterly. The following are the figures:

replace them by new trees of the largest possible size capable of being moved.

Mr. Buchan-Hepburn

Dead trees and branches are removed as resources permit. The size of new trees is governed by what is possible on practical and financial grounds. I hope to plant another 1,000–1,200 trees this year.
