FORESTRY COMMISSION IN WALES

That this House deplores Her Majesty's Government's decision to split the Forestry Commission into authority and enterprise departments; believes the planned transfer of its headquarters from Aberystwyth to Cardiff with the consequent loss of jobs in a rural area is in direct contradiction of Her Majesty's Government's supposed policy of decentralisation and encouraging jobs in rural areas; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to reverse this decision and safeguard rural employment.
