I am grateful to my hon. Friend for that reply. In view of the fact that there are vast areas of land in the Six Counties which are virtually undeveloped and that within a year or two we shall be importing over £1,000 million worth of timber per annum, will my hon. Friend make representations in the usual way to the effect that a possibly useful way of deploying some of that land may be through increased forestry programmes?
