HC Deb 25 November 1981 vol 13 c419W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of actions taken by the Forestry Commission to prevent or discourage public access to certain woodlands, if he will direct the commission to discontinue this practice.

Mrs. Fenner

No. There are no restrictions on public access to the commission's forests on foot, provided that it does not conflict with the management and protection of the forests, that there are no leases or other legal agreements which would be infringed, and that allowing such access would not constitute a danger to the public.

Forward to
