HC Deb 20 April 1964 vol 693 c128W
67. Mr. Godman Irvine

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has for extending the Agricultural Marketing Development Executive Committee or setting up a similar organisation so that forestry can be aided and encouraged in the same way as agriculture.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

The Forestry Commission, the Forest Products Research Laboratory and the Timber Research and Development Association already fulfil for forestry most of the functions which the Agricultural Market Development Executive Committee is designed to fulfil for agriculture, and there seems no general demand for another body concerned with forestry.
