HC Deb 09 May 1980 vol 984 c249W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he has any plans to increase tree planting in Wales during the next five years in the private and public sectors; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

The Government are in favour of the continuing expansion of forestry in both sectors. The scale and location will depend on the availability of land and other resources, as well as the maintenance of a sensible balance between forestry, agriculture and other land use interests.
