§ 49. Major COURTHOPEasked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government adheres to the decision announced in the House of Lords on 8th August, 1918, to the effect that it had accepted the Report of a Sub-committee of Ministers in favour of the proposals 1900 of Mr. Acland's Committee on Forestry, and that a central authority for afforestation for the United Kingdom will be set up and a policy of planting pursued with the least possible delay; and when the Bill will be introduced to establish the central forest authority?
