Abstract
THE Forestry Bill came before the Commons in Committee of the whole House on August 8, when amendments to several of the clauses were suggested. An important amendment increased the number of Commissioners from seven to eight, with the object of having one unpaid Commissioner sitting in the House of Commons, thus enabling the House to keep itself acquainted with the progress of the afforestation work. This amendment was agreed to, as was also another by Major W. Murray that not fewer than two of the Commissioners should have special knowledge and experience of plantation and forestry in Scotland.
