HC Deb 27 November 1934 vol 295 cc665-6
40. Mr. LLEWELLYN-JONES

asked the hon. and gallant Member for Rye, as representing the Forestry Commissioners, whether he can furnish information as to the Forestry Commission's planting programme in the several counties of North Wales; and whether he will consider the possibility of including the county of Flint in the programme?

Sir G. COURTHOPE

No area in the county of Flint is included in the Forestry Commission's planting programme, as no area suitable in price and otherwise has yet become available information as to their planting programme in the several counties of North Wales is set out in a list which, with the permission of the House, I will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. LLEWELLYN-JONES

Did officers of the Commission visit the county four years ago and report in favour of any portion being suitable for afforestation?

Sir G. COURTHOPE

Up to the present all our efforts to obtain suitable land at a suitable price have failed. We should welcome the hon. Member's assistance.

Following is the list:
