Debate between Baroness Parminter and Lord Taylor of Holbeach

Tuesday 25th June 2019 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Parminter (LD)]

My Lords—

[Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Con)]

We will hear from the Lib Dems.

[Baroness Parminter]

I thank the Chief Whip. The Minister mentioned local authorities. What are the Government doing to support cash-strapped local authorities, which face huge bills for felling dangerous trees alongside roads and railways and in our towns and cities?
