seeking further advice on the issue and will reply to you as soon as possible.” I have not yet received a response.

I am making a plea now to the Chief Minister: I wonder if he would come back to me, please, with an answer on this. Hopefully, that will allow these people to have this tree removed from their front garden because, as I say, they are quite traumatised by the whole thing. I think the removal of the tree would be a very small price to pay when you consider the number of trees that were taken out of places such as Oakey Hill when there was no requirement to do so. As Mrs Dunne knows, a lot of trees that people wanted to be left were taken out of Oakey Hill. We have a tree at Duffy that somebody wants to be taken out and you are saying—at the moment, anyway—that it cannot be done. So I leave the matter with Mr Stanhope and hope to hear from him shortly.

MR SPEAKER: Order! It being 5.30 pm, in accordance with standing order 34, the Assembly stands adjourned until Wednesday, 10 March 2004.

The Assembly adjourned at 5.30 pm.
