64. Mr. Garrow

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources whether he will make a statement on the national forest parks.

Mr. Willey

The Forestry Commission will continue to maintain their forest parks in the interests of public recreation and amenity. The Forestry Commission at present have seven forest parks; they are considering the establishment of another in the Glencoe district, and they will no doubt consider other areas for designation wherever it is appropriate.
