HC Deb 22 January 1981 vol 997 c225W
Mr. Pollock

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if the Forestry Commission's cash limit, Class III, Vote 9, for the financial year 1980–81 is to be increased.

Mr. Younger

Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the cash limit is to be increased by £750,000 from £41,785,000 to £42,535,000. This is necessary because of the adverse effect on the commission's forestry enterprise activities of a sharp decline in receipts from the sale of timber, which I am satisfied that the commission has done all it can to minimise.
