HC Deb 15 December 1983 vol 50 c580W
34. Sir William van Straubenzee

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many trees he expects to be planted in England in 1983.

Mrs. Fenner

I cannot give a precise figure, but it is likely that in the year to 31 March 1984 the Forestry Commission and the private sector of the forestry industry, taken together, will plant over 20 million trees in England. This does not include trees planted for the purposes of amenity or shelter.
