HC Deb 22 January 1975 vol 884 cc344-5W
31. Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made about the pine tree planting programme in Scotland.

Mr. Hugh D. Brown

In the planting season beginning in autumn 1975 the Forestry Commission expects to plant and restock about 39,000 acres in Scotland with conifers including some pine. The commission has not yet been able to make an estimate of the private sector's plans.
