Mr. McFall

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) whether the forestry review group will consider ways that forestry policy can be adapted to deliver social as well as economic and environmental benefits and to meet the needs of rural communities; and if it will make recommendations on this subject;

(2) whether the forestry review group will review the appropriateness of the current allocation of the Forestry Commission's research budget as between its economic, social and environmental objectives; and if it will make recommendations on this subject;

(3) if he will ask the interdepartmental review group on forestry to consider the economic, environmental and social benefits to be derived from allowing independent certification of Forest Enterprise managed forests.

Sir Hector Monro

No. None of these matters falls within the terms of the reference of the forestry review group.
