HC Deb 13 January 1989 vol 144 c760W
Mr. Home Robertson

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will publish the report made for his Department by the Scottish Consumer Council on the public consultation and decision-making processes associated with forestry development and seabed leases, upon which they consulted Scottish local authorities in 1987; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Forth

No such report was made for my Department, although I understand that the Scottish Consumer Council has independently produced a report on how various authorities and organisations thought that communities should be consulted about changes in their local environment and the development of the seabed.
