HC Deb 07 March 1911 vol 22 cc1165-6W
Captain MURRAY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any grant made by the Development Commission for the purposes of forestry will be administered by a competent department set up for that purpose?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The only grant for forestry recommended up to the present time by the Development Commission is in respect of afforestation in Ireland, in which case the administering department will be the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction. I do not think it advisable to anticipate any recommendation which may be made by the Development Commission in the future for further advances.
