asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total amount of subsidy paid to Scottish woodland owners over the past 10 years; and what is the estimated subsidy which will be paid for the year 1963–64.

Mr. Brooman-White

In the ten years ended 31st March, 1963, the Forestry Commission paid just over £3 million in grants to woodland owners in Scotland. The corresponding estimate for 1963–64 is £500,000.
