§ 29. Mr. PawseyTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what acreage of hardwood trees is felled on average each year; and what is the rate of re-planting.
§ Sir Hector MonroNo record is kept of the area of broadleaved woodlands which is felled each year. Nevertheless, the felling of woodland in Britain is controlled through felling licences and the woodland grant scheme. These ensure that practically all felled woodland is replanted, and that broadleaved woodland is replanted with broadleaved trees.
