§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the names, locations and areas of woodland grant scheme applications in excess of 100 hectares submitted since the start of the scheme in Wales, showing for which of these an environmental assessment has been requested by the Forestry Commission; and if he will give reasons why environmental assessment has not been requested for any remaining applications.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerThere have been two applications under the woodland grant scheme for more than 100 hectares of new planting in Wales. They are listed as follows. An environmental assessment was not requested for these applications as they did not meet the criteria specified in the Forestry Commission booklet "Environmental Assessment of Afforestation Projects", a copy of which is in the Library of the House.
