§ 86. Sir W. Anstruther-Grayasked the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent, under his regulations, the payment of maintenance grants for the upkeep of plantations is dependent upon the applicant being a member of a woodland owners' association; and what arrangements are made where no local woodland owners' association has been constituted.
§ Mr. MaclayI assume my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind the new forestry management grant which, subject to the formation of an effective woodland owners' association, will become payable to owners of dedicated woodlands in place of the present maintenance grant. Payment of the management grant will be made irrespective of membership of such an association.
