§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has to encourage an increase in the area of land in Wales used for short rotation coppicing and other energy forestry uses.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsThe group which I have set up to promote the future development of forestry in Wales will consider short-rotation coppicing and other energy forestry uses in the course of their work. In the meantime, the Forestry Commission's woodland grant scheme already provides grants for the establishment of new areas of coppice.
