HC Deb 07 December 1959 vol 615 c11W
94. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is aware that the Forestry Commission's Report for the year ended 30th September. 1958, was presented on 28th July, 1959; and whether he will take steps to ensure earlier publication in future.

Mr. John Hare

The collection and analysis of information from the Commission's numerous scattered forests inevitably takes some time. But I am glad to say that the Commission is now in a position to modify its arrangements so that the report can be published rather sooner after the end of the forest year than hitherto.
