HC Deb 18 July 1973 vol 860 cc148-9W
Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what advice he has given to owners of trees affected by Dutch elm disease who are outside the boundary where a local council is prepared to offer assistance.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

Responsibility for dealing with trees affected by Dutch elm disease lies with the owner; but information on the disease and on the replacement of dead elms is available from the Forestry Commission.
