Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 June 2026

Debate

Legal Protections for Ancient Trees

Contribution

I am very happy to look at it. Usually, the local authority will give an order for a tree to be cut down if there is a reason to be concerned about safety. I have an interest in this, as we have just had an order from our local council regarding several ash trees on our land overlooking the road. I am happy to look into it, but usually there is a safety aspect to those orders.
