Forestry Operations

HC Deb 11 March 1987 vol 112 c242W

19. Mr. Ron Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will seek to give the Forestry Commission wider powers to restrict forestry operations in Scotland where grant approval has not been given.

Mr. John MacKay

My right hon. and learned Friend sees no justification at present for seeking to give such wider powers to the Commission.
