Mr. EDMUND HARVEY

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture how many months the Board has been engaged in preparing the scheme of afforestation which was announced last year to be in progress of preparation; and when the scheme will be laid before the Development Commissioners?

Sir E. STRACHEY

The proposals to be submitted by the Board to the Development Commissioners with regard to afforestation have been under consideration for more than a year. They have now been forwarded to the Treasury for submission to the Development Commissioners.

Mr. MORELL

Will the House have an opportunity of considering any scheme of afforestation?

An HON. MEMBER

Can the hon. Gentleman say when these proposals will be laid before the public?

Mr. MORELL

May we have an answer to the supplementary questions?

Mr. SPEAKER

The way to get the answer is to put the questions on the Paper.
