HC Deb 23 July 1969 vol 787 c397W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland for what reasons the expansion of Forestry Commission planting in Scotland has been phased so that the revised target of 50,000 acres per year will not be achieved until 1976.

Mr. Ross

The rate of expansion in the Commission's planting programme is designed to take account of the financial and other resources likely to be available.
