HC Deb 15 June 1965 vol 714 c62W
Mr. Merlyn Rees

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources to what extent the regional areas of his Department differ from the areas of the regional economic planning boards; and what plans he has for correcting any discrepancies.

Mr. Willey

So far as my Department's activities are conducted geographically, it operates within the organisation of the region planning boards. The boundaries of the Forestry Commission's Conservancies in England do not coincide with those of the Regional Economic Planning Boards, but there is sufficient flexibility in the Forestry Commission's Regional structure to allow for adequate co-ordination.
