HC Deb 11 February 1943 vol 386 c1440
46. Sir Henry Morris-Jones

asked the Prime Minister whether he will appoint a Welsh representative on the Forestry Commission?

Mr. Attlee

There is at present no vacancy on the Forestry Commission, but I understand that my hon. Friend the Member for the Forest of Dean (Mr. Price) was asked some time ago by the Commission to take a special interest on their behalf in Welsh aspects of their work.

Sir H. Morris-Jones

Is it the case that out of eight commissioners there is not a Welsh representative on this Commission; and in view of the fact that the right hon. Gentleman promised this House last year, on behalf of the War Cabinet, that full consideration in future would be given to the question of Welsh interests, will he reconsider this matter?

Mr. Attlee

That is a point that might be borne in mind when there is a first vacancy.
