HC Deb 10 July 1986 vol 101 cc254-5W
25. Mr. Maclennan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what recent discussions he has had with the industry to promote farm forestry.

Mrs. Fenner

Towards the end of last year, the Agriculture Departments initiated consultations on the interdepartmental report "Woodland as a Farm Crop". Subsequently the National Farmers Union has produced its own policy document on the subject "Farming Trees". We look forward to discussing the union's proposals with it in due course.
