HC Deb 08 May 1985 vol 78 cc441-2W
39. Mr. John Mark Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement about policies for the conservation of broadleaved woodland.

Mr. John MacKay

The Forestry Commission is conducting a review of policies for broadleaved woodland. My right hon. Friend expects to make a statement to the House before the summer recess.

Mr. David Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will seek to ensure that agreement is reached between the Forestry Commission, the Nature Conservancy Council and the Countryside Commission over management guidelines for broadleaved woodlands before any statement is made to the House regarding changes in policies for broadleaved woodland.

Mr. John MacKay

My right hon. Friend intends to make a statement on a policy for broadleaved woodlands by the summer recess. The Forestry Commission's aim is to agree the main terms of management guidelines for such woodlands with the Nature Conservancy Council and the two countryside commissions before that statement is made.
