provide expertise, scientific data and co-ordination on all aspects of
pollution and its control. with this legislative and administrative
groundwork done, the difficult work of enforcement of carefully phased
plans of pollution control will gradually gather momentum.

has been restored to an Unofficial, in this case Mr Forsgate.
Country Parks
61.
To mark
We now have 408 square kilometres, nearly half the territory,
designated es Country Parks, and in them development can only take place
after very special consideration. The parks have drawn heavily on United
Kingdom experience and particularly on that of the Forestry Commission.
They have a staff of over 1,330 and their job is not only to preserve
the natural beauty of these large tracts of mountain and beach from
despoliation by fire and litter, but also to encourage enjoyment and
knowledge of the countryside by the provision of paths and sites for--
picnics and camping. On a weekend in the dry weather they will be used
by up to 100,000 people. All this is part of the planning of the
development of iong Kg.
