§ 86. Mr. GARDINERasked the Secretary for Scotland when the Report on Heather Burning will be published; and whether, owing to the wet season, it has not been possible to burn the usual proportion of heather?
§ Mr. MUNROI had hoped to receive this Report before now, and I am endeavoring to expedite its completion. I have no information with regard to the amount of heather which has been burned this season, but under Defense of the Realm Regulation 2 M.10, which is still in force, burning is allowed up to 30th April.
§ Major M. WOODWhat is the cause of the delay in publishing this Report?
§ Mr. MUNROI cannot control a Committee of this kind, but I am doing my best to expedite the Report.
