§ 30. Sir Peter Millsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimates he can give o6n acreage of broad leafed woodlands in England for 1954 and the latest year available.
§ Mrs. FennerNo figures are available for 1954, but the Forestry Commission's 1947 to 1949 census of woodlands and its 1950–51 hedgerow census showed the broadleaved woodland area in England at that time to be 271W 510,000 hectares. This compares with the figure of 547,000 hectares revealed by the Commission's most recent census of trees and woodland covering the period 1979 to 1982.
