Regulatory Reform (Forestry) Order 2006

Technically I cannot ask the noble lord, Lord Clark of Windermere, a question, so perhaps I could pose a question through the Minister. With today’s real concern about climate change and attempts to get alternative sources of energy, I wonder whether the Forestry Commission has a steer on how we can use our woodlands better in producing energy rather than just for the traditional uses that they have been put to. If somebody wants to write me about that I should be grateful. This seems like a good opportunity to raise it, although I apologise for not raising it earlier.
