HC Deb 07 November 1983 vol 48 cc5-6W

Mr. Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans his Department has made to celebrate and contribute to the Tree Council's annual national tree week from 19 to 27 November.

Mr. Ancram

I understand that some of the projects supported by the Countryside Commission for Scotland accord a special recognition to this event.

Mr. Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will encourage schools to participate in the Tree Council's national tree week from 19 to 27 November.

Mr. Allan Stewart

It is for individual schools in consultation with their education authorities and in the light of their other priorities to decide their level of involvement in the annual tree planting week.
