§ 52. Mr. Godman Irvineasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will institute an inquiry into the machinery for liaison between the Forestry Commission and the private side of the industry to ensure that 18-month delays in carrying out a routine review of planting grants will not be repeated.
§ Mr. SoamesNo. This was not a routine review and there were special reasons why an earlier decision could not be given. The owners were assured shortly after their application was made that any increase would be back-dated to October, 1962, and this has been done.
