Access To Public Woods And Forests

EDM number 2337 in 1992-93, proposed by Alan Meale on 19/07/1993.

That this House is concerned about the growing threat to people's freedom to walk in the nation's woods and forests; is against the Government's policy to sell off hundreds of thousands of acres of Britain's trees and land, currently under the control of the Forestry Commission; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to recognise the importance of protecting freedom of access to public forests, by stopping all future sales, and taking adequate steps via legislation to protect the public's rights to its access to publicly owned places and assets.

This motion has been signed by a total of 91 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
