Mr. John D. TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what arrangements exist for game shooting at Seskinore forest, Omagh; what proposals he has for future arrangements for game shooting at this forest; if he will make a statement. [19905]
§ Mr. AncramPheasant shooting will take place at Seskinore forest on 11 days during the 1995–96 season. Shooting will be let by tender. Following closure of the Department's game farm at Seskinore, which will take place during 1995, no further shooting will be available at Seskinore after 31 January 1996. Future management of the forest has yet to be finally decided and will be subject to the conclusions drawn from the prior options study of all Forest Service activities which is currently under way.
