HC Deb 14 July 1971 vol 821 c124W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is his estimate of the likely trends appertaining to the number of people employed by the Forestry Commission in Wales over the next three years.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The continuing effect of the present improvements in working methods and management techniques is likely to lead next year to a fall of about 5 per cent. in the total number employed. In the two subsequent years it is estimated that the corresponding fall will be of the order of between 1 per cent. and slightly over 2 per cent.
