HC Deb 01 May 1974 vol 872 c467W
37. Mr. Brewis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will take steps to encourage forestry, including the provision of recreational facilities in woodlands.

Mr. William Ross

My right hon. Friends and I recognise the importance of the forestry industry and the opportunities it offers for providing public recreation. It would, however, be premature to say anything further until we have reached conclusions on the review of forest policy initiated by our predecessors.
