Mr. Skeffington
asked the Minister of Town and Country Planning what general directions his Department has issued to town planning authorities in connection with the preservation of trees.
Mr. Silkin
Advice to local planning authorities on the preservation of trees is contained in the Department's "Memorandum on the Preservation of Trees and Woodlands" and in Circular 66, copies of which I have sent to my hon. Friend. I have also sent him a copy of Circular 24 which relates to tree planting in urban areas.
