HC Deb 29 March 1985 vol 76 c371W
Mr. John Mark Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if the Forestry Commission will give an undertaking to meet the national voluntary conservation organisations concerned about broadleaved woodland before 8 May.

Mr. John MacKay

The views of the major voluntary conservation bodies have been clearly presented to the Forestry Commission, which does not feel that there is a need for special meetings with them before the seminar on 8 May.

Mr. John Mark Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action has been taken to ensure that an agreement is reached between the Forestry Commission and the Nature Conservancy Council regarding management guidelines for broadleaved woods.

Mr. John MacKay

Discussions are continuing between the Forestry Commission and the Nature Conservancy Council on these management guidelines.
