Trees: Sudden Oak Death — Question
House of Lords debates, 10 February 2011, 11:21 am
Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat)
To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking to counter the spread of sudden oak death in trees.
Lord Henley (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Conservative)
My Lords, the Forestry Commission and the Food and Environment Research Agency, working in partnership with other organisations, are delivering a five-year programme in England and Wales against Phytophthora ramorum. The Government take this very seriously. Infected Japanese larch is being cleared from 7,920 acres of woodland in an effort to halt the spread of the disease.
