To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total area of land afforested by the Forestry Commission and private planning, respectively, in Britain in 1987–88; and if he will provide an estimate for 1988–89.
In the year ended 31 March 1988, the Forestry Commission carried out 4,995 hectares of new planning and grant-aided 23,821 hectares of new planting by the private sector.
The commission proposes to carry out some 4,000 hectares of new planning in the current year. It is not possible, however, to provided a firm estimate of the level of private planting for this period until the likely pattern of forestry investment following the recent changes to the tax and grant arrangements becomes clearer.
