HC Deb 19 June 1997 vol 296 c291W
26. Mr. Bayley

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement about the management of Forestry Commission woodlands in England following Scottish devolution. [2917]

Mr. Morley

We are currently considering the possible effects of Scottish devolution on the Forestry Commission. However, the responsibility for forestry in England, including the Forestry Commission's woodlands, rests with the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, and Scottish devolution would not affect this.
