HC Deb 27 October 1993 vol 230 cc683-4W
22. Mr. Foulkes

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to make an announcement about the future management of forestry woodlands.

Sir Hector Monro

Any announcement about the future management of Forestry Commission woodland would follow the conclusion of the work of the forestry review group, which is expected early next year. After receiving the group's advice, Ministers will need some time to consider it and decide what action, if any, should be taken.
