This sets out the industry's potential contributions to tackling some of the environmental challenges facing the UK, including through the use of a greater proportion of British-produced plants and trees in public sector projects, and the incorporation of more community green spaces within the urban planning process. Where Government can help, we will work with the sector to help it take advantage of the opportunities outlined in the action plan.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 28/09/2022 11:45:29 question first ministerially corrected 10/10/2022 12:52:35 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison previous answer version 20966 answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
