HC Deb 27 March 1906 vol 154 cc1064-5
MR. C. NICHOLSON (Yorkshire, W. R., Doncaster)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he can now say definitely whether the proposed Royal Commission on coast erosion and kindred subjects, will deal with the questions of waste lands and afforestation.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE,) Carnarvon Boroughs

No, Sir; it is not proposed that the reference to the Royal Commisson on coast erosion shall extend to the question of afforestation or to the question of waste lands except in so far as they are sloblands.
