HC Deb 13 October 1944 vol 403 c2080W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention of the Government to issue a statement on post-war forestry and if it will contain plans for encouraging owners to plant hard-wood timber and also provide for the employment of an increasing number of persons in the present neglected woodland industries, such as charcoal burning and wood working on the site.

Sir J. Anderson

I have been asked to reply. Post-war forestry policy is under consideration in the light of reports received from the Forestry Commission, which have been published. The particular questions raised by my hon. and gallant Friend will certainly be taken into account.
