The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Mr David Heath)
Today I am announcing a triennial review of the National Forest Company. The National Forest Company was set up in 1995 to oversee the creation of the National Forest—a multi-purpose forest across 200 square miles of the midlands.
Triennial reviews of non-departmental public bodies are part of the Government’s commitment to ensuring accountability in public life.
This review will be conducted in accordance with Government guidance for reviewing non-departmental public bodies. The review will be carried out in an open and transparent way and interested stakeholders will be given the opportunity to feed in their views. I will announce the findings of the review later in the year.
Further information on the review is available on the Government website.
