HC Deb 16 April 1975 vol 890 c106W
Sir John Gilmour

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what acreages of land in Scotland have been planted with trees during the last six months by the Forestry Commission and by private woodland owners, respectively.

Mr. William Ross

It is estimated that, during the six months ended 31st March, 1975, the Forestry Commission has planted about 16,200 acres in Scotland. Corresponding figures for the private sector are not yet available, but I shall write to the hon. Member in due course.
