§ 36. Mr. DevlinTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans are in progress to enhance public usage of forest parks.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThere are now 12 forest parks in Britain, the latest being Tummel forest park which was declared by the Forestry Commission last year. A free leaflet publicising the parks was issued by the commission last June. Plans for encouraging increased public use of the forest parks include the provision of further recreational facilities, the development of an attractive style of signing—already introduced at certain forest parks—and the production of a new series of forest park guidebooks.
