HC Deb 24 April 1913 vol 52 cc562-3W
Sir J. D. REES

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he can give the House any information regarding the results of the research work in connection with afforestation undertaken by the University of Cambridge for which his Department supplied the funds?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The First Quarterly Progress Report on Timber Research undertaken by Cambridge University with the aid of a Government Grant, has recently been issued, and I shall be pleased to send a copy to the hon. Member. So far as can be judged from the record of three months' work, it seems probable that very useful results may be expected.
