MAJOR JONES (Carmarthen District)I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General, whether his attention has been called to the continued felling of the trees in Epping Forest, and whether such work is in conformity with the Epping Forest Act, having regard to the fact that the people generally are against such felling of the trees; and, whether he will make the necessary request for the publication of the amounts realised by the sale of the timber, together with the names of the purchasers?
THE ATTORNEY GENERALI have been informed by the City Remembrancer that nothing has been done in Epping Forest except such thinning of the timber as is necessary to preserve the health of the young trees. I have no power to interfere with the exercise of their discretion by the Epping Forest Committee.
§ MR. JAMES STUART (Shoreditch, Hoxton)asked whether the hon. and learned Member had received the opinions of experts?
