§ Mr. Skeffingtonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many of the public visited plantations of 79W the Forestry Commission in each of the years 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1969.
§ Mr. Anthony StodartThe number of visitors to the Commission's forests can only be roughly estimated, since over such a wide area of open access a census is not practicable.
The Forestry Commission estimates that over 15 million visits by the public were made to its forests in the year ended 31st March, 1970. No estimates were made annually in earlier years.
