33. Sir John Biggs-Davison

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a grant to the Theydon Bois parish council to defray the expense of tree planting to shield the garden of remembrance at the local burial ground from noise from the M11.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

We are prepared to consider the possibility of a tree planting scheme under the terms of section 253 of the Highways Act 1980. The Department's regional office will get in touch with the parish council for a discussion.
