asked Her Majesty's Government:
What assessment they have made of the effect of the New Forest National Park management plan on the amount of cycling allowed in the forest. [HL6275]
I have made no assessment. The purpose of the management plan is for the National Park Authority (in co-operation with its stakeholders) to formulate its policy for the management of the park and for the carrying out of its functions. The New Forest National Park Authority is an independent authority operating within the local government framework and legislation.
