PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Leicester Mercury Campaign for Leicestershire Woodland (6 February 1990)

That this House congratulates the Leicester Mercury and the 10,398 people of Leicestershire who voted Yes on the Mercury Woodland Campaign to establish a woodland in the county; considers that the establishment of such a woodland would be in keeping with the positive and constructive environmental policies of Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council; believes that the woodland would add greatly to the quality of life in the area and boost the East Midlands as a major area of tourism; notes the fact that honourable Members on both sides of the House support this campaign; and therefore calls on the Countryside Commissioners to allocate a new woodlands forest to Leicestershire.
