HC Deb 09 June 1988 vol 134 c683W
70. Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will invite the Forestry Commission to review its present guidelines for planting under the farm woodlands scheme.

Mr. MacGregor

The practical guidelines provided by the Forestry Commission in connection with the woodland grant scheme will also apply to planting under the farm woodland scheme when this is introduced. In addition, publications giving detailed advice on establishing and maintaining farm woodlands will be available in good time for the introduction of the scheme in the autumn. In the light of this I do not consider revision of guidelines necessary.
