What number of replies were received by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions by the closing date, 31 January, in response to their consultation document High Hedges: Possible Solutions in support of each of the four offered options and for none of them. [HL1814]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (Lord Whitty)
