§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the reorganisation of the Forestry Commission in Wales.
§ Mr. David HuntThe Government have endorsed the proposal by the forestry commissioners that they should carry out an internal reorganisation of the commission in order to achieve a clearer distinction between those staff concerned with its regulatory and advisory duties as a Government Department and those engaged in the management of its forests. The commissioners plan to implement this reorganisation by 1 April 1992.
503WThe forestry commissioners have decided that the headquarters' offices of the Forestry Authority and the Forestry Enterprise in Wales will remain in Aberystwyth. They are also proposing that the commission's forests in Wales should continue to be managed by the existing eight forest district offices, but that there should be three new local offices to administer the authority's functions. The details of the reorganisation are currently being discussed with staff representatives.
