§ Mr. Perkinsasked the Minister without Portfolio whether he proposes to introduce legislation relating to the future of British woodlands this Session.
§ Sir W. JowittThe Forestry Commission already possess wide powers under the Forestry Act, 1919, and unless it were intended to alter the constitution of the Commission or to extend their powers I do not think further legislation would be necessary. There are certain minor issues in regard to the dedication proposals and other matters which may call for further powers. I may add that a supplementary report by the Forestry Commissioners on the proposals in regard to private woodlands will be issued shortly.
