HL Deb 30 April 2001 vol 625 c68WA
Lord Hill-Norton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they requested or instructed the Forestry Commission to fell any trees in Rendlesham Forest or Tanham Woods in the aftermath of the Rendlesham Forest incident; and, if so, on what grounds. [HL1810]

Baroness Hayman

The Forestry Commission was not instructed to fell any trees after the alleged incident in Rendlesham Forest in December 1980. Most of the trees in the area had been selected and marked for felling well before the alleged incident and were felled several months after it.
