Forestry Commission

HC Deb 16 July 1979 vol 970 cc397-8W

Mr. Coleman

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether the Government's expenditure cuts are to be applied to the Forestry Commission in Wales; and, if so, if he will give details of the projects by the Commission in Wales which are to be affected.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

The Forestry Commission, like other Departments, will be affected by cuts in public expenditure, but final decisions on their detailed application have still to be reached.
