HC Deb 07 May 1919 vol 115 c904
54. Lieutenant-Colonel MURRAY

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he can hold out any hopes of the Forestry Bill being introduced at an early date?

Mr. SHORTT

I am not in a position to make any statement.

Lieutenant-Colonel MURRAY

When will the right hon. Gentleman be in a position to make a statement? Is he aware that this is one of the most important items of the Government Reconstruction programme.

Mr. SHORTT

I fully appreciate its importance, and the Government will act as soon as possible.
