Ministers plan huge sell-off of Britain's forests


Ministers are planning a massive sell-off of Britain's Government-owned forests as they seek to save billions of pounds to help cut the deficit, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt.

The controversial decision will pave the way for a huge expansion in the number of Center Parcs-style holiday villages, golf courses, adventure sites and commercial logging operations throughout Britain as land is sold to private companies.

Laws governing Britain's forests were included in the Magna Carta of 1215, and some date back even earlier.

sounds like a money making scam to me. not money making for the govt. but money making into private pockets.

I'd be pretty surprised if the English people let this happen. they love there forests, etc. with a passion.

They don't have ANY forest to spare on that beautiful little island.

5. Environmental and conservation laws will inevitably fall before so called "economic imperatives."

This is the front edge of the axe profiteers have been sharpening for decades.

I hope the British people put a end to this crap. Is there some way to force another election?

7. Yes, with a vote of no confidence in parliment.

Administrations fall.
