HC Deb 28 June 1993 vol 227 c400W
15. Mr. Fishburn

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is his policy on wild flowers along highways.

Mr. Key

We carry out and encourage the planting of native species of wildflowers wherever appropriate. Last Thursday I launched the wild flower handbook. This will act as a welcome stimulus to road planners and designers in carrying out work which I regard as very important.
