HC Deb 29 November 1994 vol 250 cc693-4W
Mr. Tipping

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland on what date Her Majesty's Treasury was invited to comment on the Forest Enterprise framework document.

Sir Hector Monro

[holding answer 28 November 1994]: HM Treasury is assisting with the preparation of the framework document and a draft was discussed with it on 21 October.

Mr. Tipping

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to present the Forest Enterprise framework document to Parliament and to publish it for public consultation.

Sir Hector Monro

[holding answer 28 November 1994]: The finalised framework document will be published and a copy will be placed in the Library of the House.

Mr. Tipping

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the areas of land identified by the Forestry Commission or Forest Enterprise for sale since 1981 but which have not been sold, with the size of those areas, the county or, if in Scotland, region in which they are situated and the year in which they were identified for sale.

Sir Hector Monro

[holding answer 28 November 1994]: The Forestry Commission keeps records of all the land it has sold and of land it currently has on the market. It does not, however, retain records on cases where land was put on the market and then later withdrawn, for whatever reason. The information requested is therefore not available.
