§ Mr. Ron Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the applications for broadleaved woodland grant which have been approved by the Forestry Commission in Scotland to the end of September, broken down to include totals of ancient semi-natural ancient woodland sites, other and bare land, and the number of hectares of each tree species planted with grant aid within these categories for all three Scottish conservancies.
§ Mr. John MacKay[pursuant to his reply, 20 November 1986, c. 339]: I have arranged for a copy of the following information to be placed in the Library.
Details of the broadleaved woodland grant scheme applications approved up to the end of September 1986 in each of the Forestry Commission's Scottish conservancies are as follows:
