§ Mr. Geraint Howellsasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many acres of land the Forestry Commission hopes to sell in Wales during the next three years; and what the estimated revenue will be from such sales.
§ Mr. John Stradling ThomasThe Forestry Commission currently has 4,775 hectares—11,799 acres —of forestry land and plantations, with an estimated value of £5.8 million, in the process of being sold—that is, either on the market or approved for sale with reserve prices fixed.
Because of variable market conditions, and other factors, it is not possible to be precise as to when these sales will be completed.
