These can be found in <a href="https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/tools-and-resources/statistics/forestry-statistics/" target="_blank">Forestry Statistics</a> and in <a href="https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/tools-and-resources/statistics/statistics-by-topic/woodland-statistics/" target="_blank">Provisional Woodland Statistics: 2021 edition</a> on the Forest Research website. These statistics are reported for each financial year in thousands of hectares. The latest available figures are for 2020-21.</p><p> </p><p>For all new planting of woodland since 2020-21, there is also a published estimate of the approximate number of trees this represents available from the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/forestry-commission-corporate-plan-performance-indicators" target="_blank">Forestry Commission Key Performance Indicators</a> on the gov.uk website.</p><p>The areas of new planting (woodland creation) for England taken from the published statistics are shown below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year (ending 31 March)</p></td><td><p>New planting in England (thousand hectares)</p></td><td><p>New planting in England (estimated number of trees)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>1.15</p></td><td><p>..</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>1.50</p></td><td><p>..</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>1.42</p></td><td><p>..</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20</p></td><td><p>2.34</p></td><td><p>..</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020-21 (provisional)</p></td><td><p>2.18</p></td><td><p>4,252,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021-22 quarter 1 partial interim report</p></td><td><p>0.47</p></td><td><p>926,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: Forestry Commission, Forestry England, grant schemes and with estimates for areas planted without grant aid.</p><p>Planting rates in 2020/21 were impacted by Covid-19. The England Tree Action Plan published in May 2021 stated our aim to at least treble tree planting rates in England by end of this Parliament.</p><p>Note 1: ‘..’ denotes data not available. Estimates of numbers of trees in newly-planted woodland are incomplete for years before 2020-21.</p><p>Note 2: Estimates for areas planted without grant aid are believed to be under-reported and, as a result, the reported figures are likely to under-estimate the true level of planting activity. For England, woodland planting funded by sources other than the Countryside Stewardship Woodland Creation Grant and the former English Woodland Creation Grant, the Woodland Carbon Fund and the High Speed 2 Woodland Fund, include planting supported by the Woodland Trust, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the National Forest Company, in the Northern Forest, and by the Community Forests.</p>

answer text <p>We welcome recent steps taken by industry to raise standards and increase protections for customers, including PaddyPower/Betfair’s introduction of its £500 cap and the Betting &amp; Gaming Council’s codes of conduct on high value customer schemes and online game design.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The government and the Gambling Commission are continuing work to consider protections in online gambling. Earlier this year, the Gambling Commission launched a consultation and call for evidence on the steps remote operators should be required to take to identify and protect customers at risk of harm, including on issues to do with affordability. It received over 13,000 responses and the Commission has published an interim update on its website outlining next steps.</p><p><strong><br></strong>The government launched its Review of the Gambling Act 2005 in December with the publication of a Call for Evidence which received 16,000 responses. The Review will be wide-ranging and evidence-led, and aims to make sure that the regulation of gambling is fit for the digital age. We are considering all evidence carefully and will publish a white paper outlining any conclusions and proposals for reform in due course.</p>
