§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the Forestry Commission's proposals to designate sites as nature reserves; and if he will list the sites proposed for such designation.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe Forestry Commission has chosen 46 forest nature reserves from the hundreds of conservation sites on its land. They have been managed by the Commission for conservation purposes for many years, and are accessible and open to everyone. They are listed in the Commission's leaflet entitled "Forest Nature Reserves", which is available in the Library.
