HC Deb 17 February 1965 vol 706 cc220-1W
34. Mr. Baker

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many acres the Forestry Commission will be planting in the current year in Scotland; and if he anticipates an expansion in this acreage in future years.

Mr. Ross

In the current planting season, which ends in two or three months' time, the Commission hopes to plant about 30,000 acres. I will shortly consider with my colleagues, what acreage will be planted in future years.
