Proceeding contribution from Lord Gove (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 May 2019. It occurred during Opposition day on Environment and Climate Change.


Environment and Climate Change

I am hugely grateful for the national forest, which has taken former industrial areas in Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Leicestershire and rendered them even more beautiful. The Woodland Trust has been inspirational in Cheshire and areas of the northern forest, which we are planning to develop from Liverpool to Hull. Although the Forestry Commission does not always get everything right, I am more than happy to endorse and celebrate its work in Northumberland and Cumbria.
