HC Deb 21 January 1941 vol 368 cc51-2W
Mr. Price

asked the right hon. and gallant Member for Rye, as representing the Forestry Commissioners, whether sympathetic consideration has been given to the proposal of the Forest of Dean Commoners' Association whereby, provided the safety of the young plantations are secured, some of the forest enclosures shall be opened to sheep on payment of a rent per head?

Sir G. Courthope

Sympathetic and careful consideration has been given to the proposal of the Forest of Dean Commoners' Association for some of the forest enclosures to be opened to sheep on terms, but it has not been found feasible to work out a practical scheme.
