HC Deb 23 May 1966 vol 729 c6W
51. Sir J. Rodgers

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources if he will seek to amend the law so that when tree preservation orders are issued by local authorities they become effective without having to be confirmed by him.

Mr. Willey

The procedures for making tree preservation orders are at present being examined as part of a comprehensive review of the tree preservation legislation. The point raised by the hon. Member will be fully considered along with other proposals for amending legislation.
