HIGH HEDGES

Early day motion 1577, tabled 8 July 2002 by David Laws (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 80 members.

That this House notes that in December 2000 a Government Minister indicated that he was very eager to get legislation tackling the problem of high hedges, including leylandii, in place quickly; regrets that such legislation has still not been brought forward by the Government in spite of the overwhelming support expressed during the consultation process in the year 2000; and urges the Government to bring forward legislation on this matter in the next session of Parliament.
