HC Deb 12 April 1960 vol 621 cc1067-8
23. Mr. Brewis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of the greater amount of forest planting in Scotland compared to the rest of Great Britain, he will encourage the Forestry Commission to set up a research station in Scotland.

Mr. Maclay

The Commission has a research sub-station in Edinburgh at present, which investigates forestry problems peculiar to Scotland and also taxes part in researches common to Great Britain. So far as I can judge, the existing Scottish needs are adequately catered for by these arrangements.
