HC Deb 28 June 1965 vol 715 c3
3. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources what recommendations he has received from the Home Timber Advisory Committee; and what action he proposes to take on them.

The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Land and Natural Resources (Mr. Arthur Skeffington)

On 26th May the Forestry Commission passed to my right hon. Friend a submission from the Home Grown Timber Advisory Committee making recommendations on the future size of the forestry programme and on related problems such as land acquisition. As my right hon. Friend stated in the course of the debate on forestry on 14th June, this submission will be taken into account in the course of the Government's current review of the forestry programme.

Mr. Digby

Would the Joint Parliamentary Secretary place a copy of this submission in the Library, or is it regarded as confidential?

Mr. Skeffington

I will make inquiries to see whether we can meet the hon. Gentleman's request.
