Mrs. Ann Winterton: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what measures her Department is taking to
promote the viability of (a) the hardwood and (b) the softwood timber growing industries; what recent discussions she has had with
the Timber Growers Association; and if she will make a statement. [25187]
Mr. Morley: The Government's Forestry Strategy for England sets out our priorities and programmes for sustainable forestry in
England. These priorities include supporting the strategic development of woodland resources. Specific actions include support for
regional and local marketing initiatives, and ensuring the supply of timber from our woodland resource is available at levels
indicated in long-term forecasts. In addition, through the Forestry Commission and in partnership with woodland owners and wood
users we are supporting the Wood for Good campaign, the largest single timber promotion ever mounted in the UK. Other measures
include purchasing research on timber use from the Building Research Establishment, the Timber Research and Development Association
and other organisations. We are also working to ensure that small sized timber and woodland residues are recognised as a source of
renewable energy. These measures will help to promote the viability of the hardwood and softwood industries.
I meet regularly with representatives from the Timber Growers Association (now known as the Association of Timber Growers and
Forestry Professionals, following a merger with the Association of Professional Foresters, effective from 1 January 2002). The
association is represented on the England Forestry Forum and I attended a parliamentary lunch with the Timber Growers Association
and the UK Forest Products Association on 5 November 2001.
