Forestry

Asked if the Prime Minister saying he was looking at all sides of the forestry argument was a signal that he will axe the policy, the Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) told the assembled press that the Government had put out proposals for consultation which were somewhat different to what was being reported. This was not going to be a mass sell-off or privatisation of forests and we were not going to be in a situation where people wouldn’t have access to forests. The PMS repeatedly urged people to read the consultation and if they had views to send them in. The Government would confirm its plans at the end of that consultation in the normal way.
