§ Ms RuddockTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list all Forestry Commission woodlands currently for sale, and indicate for each(a) into which English or Welsh county or Scottish region it falls, (b) the number of hectares covered and (c) if an access agreement has been made with the local authority guaranteeing continuing public access.
§ Mr. Kynoch[pursuant to his answer, 12 November 1996, c. 149–53]: The chief executive of Forest Enterprise has written further to the hon. Member.
Letter from Gordon M. Cowie to Ms Joan Ruddock, dated 29 January 1997:
I refer to my letter of 12 November 1996, which enclosed a list of the Forestry Commission Woodlands that were currently for sale, in response to your Parliamentary Question.
I am very sorry to say the list for Wales was incorrect due to confusion arising from the changeover from the old County Councils to the new Unitary Authorities on 1 April 1996.
I therefore enclose a revised list for Wales and I can only apologise for this error.
