answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2018 answer text <p>There has not been any discussion on land disposal because the Forestry Commission has no plans to dispose of Mortimer Forest or any other significant areas of land. We remain committed to maintaining the Public Forest Estate in trust for the nation. As set out in the Written Ministerial Statement on 7 November 2017 we will not allow any net reduction in size of the Estate. The Forestry Commissioners are empowered to buy and sell land on behalf of Ministers but before doing so on any significant scale they would be expected to consult Ministers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 17/05/2018 15:45:08 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>The answer to Question 137401 referred to <em>total </em>particulate matter (TPM) which is measured continuously at incinerators by their continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS). TPM CEMS have to be calibrated by carrying out periodic sampling known as a reference method (i.e. the most accurate method) side-by-side with the continuous monitoring, and then adjusting the results obtained from the CEMS according to the results obtained by periodic sampling. The reference method for dust (another term for TPM) is set out in the British/European Standard BS EN 13284-1. It is therefore appropriate to refer to the definition in BS EN 13284-1 for dust in order to define TPM, which reads as follows:</p><p> </p><p><strong><em>“dust</em></strong></p><p><em>particles, of any shape, structure or density, dispersed in the gas phase at the sampling point conditions which may be collected by filtration under specified conditions after representative sampling of the gas to be analysed, and which remain upstream of the filter and on the filter after drying under specified conditions.”</em></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 16/05/2018 16:04:39 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
