HC Deb 07 February 1961 vol 634 c20W
65. Miss Herbison

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans the Forestry Commission has for planting trees in new areas of Scotland.

Mr. Maclay:

This year the Commission expects to plant about 32,000 acres in Scotland, which will be an increase of 2,000 acres over last year. There are practically no areas in Scotland where the Commission does not already have plantations, but it is always looking for new areas where extensions of its activities might be practicable.
