HC Deb 02 April 1974 vol 871 cc338-9W
Mr. Corrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what benefit he estimates that the forestry industry in Scotland will get from Great Britain's membership of the EEC.

Mr. William Ross

As yet there is no common forestry policy in the Community, but consideration is being given to a draft directive on the subject. It is too early to say what, if any, effect any common measures which may be adopted would have on the forestry industry in Scotland.
