§ Lieut.-Colonel Heneageasked the hon. and gallant Member for Rye, as representing the Forestry Commissioners, whether he has any statement to make about the progress in planting walnut trees in the areas administered by the Commissioners?
§ Sir G. CourthopeThe Forestry Commissioners have been experimenting for the last six years on the raising of walnut trees. Results appear promising but until a few more growing seasons have elapsed and more definite information is available it would be unwise to create walnut plantations.
