HC Deb 12 November 1975 vol 899 c692W
Mrs. Hart

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the expenditure by Her Majesty's Government on Plant a Tree year.

Mr. Denis Howell

Government expenditure directly attributable to the 1973 Tree Planting Year campaign on publicity, grants for approved tree planting on unsightly land, and tree planting projects involving the Forestry Commission is expected to be about £500,000.

It is not possible to say how much other Government expenditure incurred on relevant activities during the year should properly be attributed to the campaign.
