Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the total expenditure of the Forestry Commission reference committee panels in Wales during the last year for which figures are available; what are the sources of their finance; and what proportion of their expenditure is incurred in administration.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Reference committee panels are maintained under section 27 of the Forestry Act 1967 for each of the Forestry Commission's conservancies. Their purpose is to provide a pool of persons from which committees can be set up to advise Forestry Ministers on appeals against decisions taken by the Forestry Commissioners on felling licences and felling directions. No such appeals have been received in Wales since these procedures were introduced and no expenditure has therefore been incurred.
