Sycamore Trees, Bramshott
Mr. Spellar: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a
statement on the destruction of the memorial avenue of sycamore trees at
Bramshott on the A3 Portsmouth road. [31724]

Mr. Watts: The trees, planted as a memorial to Canadian service men, were
removed in the interest of road safety and the long-term health of the
roadside environment. The decision to remove the trees was taken only after
extensive consultations with interested parties, including the Canadian high
commission.
