The Forestry Commission has, over the past 25 years, done more than anyone to aid commoning through its policies on land and property leases. This includes substantial public subsidy on the basis of the benefits to commoning and maintaining the traditions of the New Forest. The Forestry Commission is initiating a review of its policies on land and property leases in the New Forest. This would include consultation with interested parties in the New Forest. I expect the Forestry Commission to work with those with an interest and present their findings and any planned changes in approach to Ministers for approval.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey grouped question UIN 109501 question first answered 02/11/2017 17:29:29 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
