HC Deb 08 December 1993 vol 234 cc233-4W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list all the Forestry Commission forests and woods in each of the counties of Wales.

Mr. Tipping

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list for each separate piece of land currently owned or leased by the Forestry Commission in Clwyd (a) its name, (b) its area in hectares; and if he will place a map in the Library which names and identifies each of these pieces of land.

Sir Wyn Roberts

The Forestry Commission manages the following areas of land in each county in Wales.

County Area (hectares)
Clwyd 9,457
Dyfed 31,002
Gwent 8,787
Gwynedd 27,954
Mid Glamorgan 13,038
Powys 31,292
South Glamorgan 486
West Glamorgan 14,399

Details of individual forests and woodlands are not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

I have, however, made arrangements for a map showing the location of the individual areas to be placed in the Library of the House as soon as possible.
