Commons ChamberT4. Will the Secretary of State ensure more people are able to enjoy access to woodlands, particularly those close to our towns and cities?
We are consulting on the future of the publicly owned forest and management of forestry issues generally and looking at what we will take forward. There are many excellent landowners, such as the Woodland Trust and the National Trust, who encourage public access and enjoyment of woodland and I look forward to working with them and other landowners to ensure we increase access for everybody.
