HC Deb 22 July 1954 vol 530 cc146-7W
97. Mr. G. Roberts

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will instruct the Forestry Commission to proceed at once with schemes of afforestation in the Trevor-Llithfaen district of Caernarvon-shire in view of the actual and prospective unemployment in this area.

Mr. Nugent

There is very little land suitable for planting in the immediate district, and although the Commissioners are anxious to increase their work, it is unlikely that they can do so on a scale sufficient to make a significant difference to employment.
