Sir A. Salterasked the right hon. and gallant Member for Rye, as representing the Forestry Commissioners, whether the planting programme on the Commission's estates in the Thetford district of Norfolk and Suffolk is in arrear; whether the planting programmes in any other estates controlled by the Commission are in arrears; and whether the Commissioners will consider the advisability of making up arrears of planting on existing estates before acquiring additional land in that part of the Lake District which the repre- 234W sentatives of the Council for the Preservation of Rural England on the joint informal committee regretted was not excluded from afforestation under the agreement of July, 1936?
§ Sir G. CourthopeThe planting programmes on the Forestry Commission's estates in the Thetford district and elsewhere are not in arrears; consequently the last part of the question does not arise.
