HC Deb 21 November 1972 vol 846 c364W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what advice he is giving to local authorities in relation to their population of trees in 1973 as part of Tree Planting Year.

Mr. Graham Page

I want to see more trees, especially in towns. When existing trees have to be felled, every effort should be made to replace them. More detailed advice is contained in the Department's circular No. 99/72.
