HC Deb 17 February 1988 vol 127 c673W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has any plans to amend existing regulations on the protection of ancient woodlands; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Roe

There are no present plans to do so, but we shall keep the position under review, in relation to both ancient woodlands and the amenity value of woodlands generally.
