30. Sir John Hall

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received from the Forestry Liaison Committee about the urgent need for a revised and compre- hensive forestry policy; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Strang

My right hon. Friend has received from the Forestry Liaison Committee a statement published on 29th April called "Forestry Policy for Great Britain", which sets out the views of representative bodies in the forestry industry. Together with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland and my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Wales, we have been asked to receive a delegation from the committee to discuss the document. This request is being considered.
