HC Deb 17 November 1953 vol 520 c1540
7. Mr. Spence

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent assistance has been provided by Forestry Commission employees in clearing blown timber in Scotland; and whether all requests for help have been fully met.

Mr. Snadden

Assistance in the clearing of wind blown timber in Scotland has been provided by Forestry Commission employees to 11 estates. All definite requests for help on a repayment basis have been fully met.

Mr. Spence

Can the Minister say how many additional requests for assistance have been made which are under consideration?

Mr. Snadden

I can only say that there have been a number of inquiries for assistance where the Forestry Commission's terms have been quoted which have not been accepted. I cannot give any more information than that.
