I am more interested in exploiting fully our present resources. While it is important to plant and develop for the future and to have a land reserve organised, it is highly important that more attention should be given to utilisation of our present resources. Our present resources are not being fully utilised and where the Department and the Minister have responsibility, I would ask what action the Department and the Minister propose to take to utilise fully our present resources. The Minister will be aware that a cubic foot of standing timber which is worth about £4 can have an added value to the tune of £100 if used as newsprint. Opportunities are not being exploited and the reserve that is there is not being used to the maximum.

I would like to point out that the Deputy is well aware of the difficulties that he encountered and, indeed, which he did not change in his term of office——

I was not there very long.

I am there as long as the Deputy was there up to now, the difference being that I have taken on the responsibility of getting together an inter-departmental committee to iron out the problems and I expect a report from them in a matter of weeks in respect of the marketing of existing timber. The Deputy will be glad to know that this committee are in existence and will be reporting to me urgently in relation to ironing out the anomalies in the marketing approach at the moment.
