HC Deb 05 July 1965 vol 715 c172W
65. Mr. George Craddock

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources to what extent the increased costs of the acquisition of land have affected the Forestry Commission.

Mr. Willey

The average cost of plantable land rose appreciably in 1964 but the increased cost of acquiring suitable land has not been a major factor in restricting the acquisition of land by the Forestry Commission.
