§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total area of land afforested by the Forestry Commission and private planning, respectively, in Britain in 1987–88; and if he will provide an estimate for 1988–89.

It is not possible, however, to provided a firm estimate of the level of private planting for this period until the likely pattern of forestry investment following the recent changes to the tax and grant arrangements becomes clearer.
