§ Mr. Colvinasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what contribution the Forestry Commission makes towards provision for the recreational needs of children.
§ Mrs. FennerThe Forestry Commission provides a wide range of recreational facilities which can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. The main emphasis is on the provision of facilities for day visitors, such as picnic places, viewpoints and forest walks, particularly where these are readily accessible to towns and holiday centres. In addition, 42 camps sites have been specially provided for use by schools and youth organisations. Children's play areas are also available at some of the commission's other camp sites and at some picnic places.
