HC Deb 26 February 1981 vol 999 c432W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many acres of hill farm land have been acquired in Scotland by the Forestry Commission since 1970.

Mr. Younger

Since 1970 the Forestry Commission has acquired some 338,000 acres of land in Scotland. This includes various categories of land. A separate figure for hill farm land could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
