Tree Planting (Caithness and Sutherland)

HC Deb 23 November 1987 vol 123 c40W

Mr. MacLennan

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what consideration he has given to the proposal of the Nature Conservancy Council that there should be a moratorium on tree planting in Caithness and Sutherland; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rifkind

I hope to make a statement on this matter in the near future.
