	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2024 answer text <p>New planting of woodland and trees in England is reported in statistics derived from returns from a number of contributors and range of grant types. After first release of the statistics, it is possible for more accurate data to become available hence the reason the statistics are described as provisional.</p><p> </p><p>The Forestry Commission will normally make necessary revisions to new planting statistics when those figures next appear in any related publication including the Forestry Statistics report and its accompanying datasets, available from the Forest Research website at: <a href="https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/tools-and-resources/statistics/forestry-statistics/" target="_blank">https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/tools-and-resources/statistics/forestry-statistics/</a>.</p><p> </p><p>A key reason that statistics on new planting are published annually is that there is one tree planting season a year. The Forestry Commission does publish interim statistics on new planting in England for the first half of the financial year where data are available at mid-year, and these are available in its Headline Performance Updates, available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/forestry-commission-corporate-plan-performance-indicators" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/forestry-commission-corporate-plan-performance-indicators</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The Forestry Commission seeks to comply with the Code of Practice for Statistics published on the UK Statistics Authority website, available at <a href="https://code.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/" target="_blank">https://code.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/</a>.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 06/02/2024 10:16:18 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
