HC Deb 30 October 1997 vol 299 c877W
Mr. Tipping

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list(a) the areas of Forestry Commission woodland that are currently being advertised for sale and (b) the steps being taken to safeguard public access in these areas. [13413]

Mr. Chisholm

We imposed a moratorium on the sale of Forestry Commission land when we took up office. The commission and its selling agents therefore explain to anyone making inquiries about buying woodlands that there are currently no Forestry Commission woodlands available for purchase.
