HC Deb 13 December 1994 vol 251 c597W
Mr. Maclennan

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what proposals he has to ensure that public access is maintained to Forestry Commission land which passes into private ownership.

Sir Hector Monro

We introduced arrangements in 1991 for securing continued public access to woodlands sold by the Forestry Commission. We have recently reviewed these arrangements and concluded that they should be strengthened. Further details are given in "Our Forests—The Way Ahead"—Cm 2644—a copy of which is in the Library of the House.
