§ MR. LONSDALEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether it is intended to take any action to give effect to the recommendations of the Departmental Committee on Forestry in Ireland.
§ MR. T. W. RUSSELLThe Report of the Departmental Committee on Irish Forestry, which has only recently been issued, is under consideration, but there has not yet been time to arrive at a decision upon the recommendations of the Committee. The importance of dealing with the matter is fully recognised, and the Government will come to a decision upon it as soon as may be possible, having regard to the financial and other considerations involved.
