HC Deb 01 February 1982 vol 17 c72W
Mr. Patrick McNair-Wilson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied that Shell UK Ltd. has obtained from the Forestry Commission the necessary permissions for access to and from Denny inclosure in the New Forest, in view of the constraints placed upon access by section 7 of the New Forest Act 1877.

Sir David Price

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether any agreement has been entered into between Shell UK Ltd. and the Forestry Commission, allowing the former access to the Denny Wood inclosure for the purpose of drilling for oil.

Mrs. Fenner

I shall reply to my hon. Friends as soon as possible.
