Harriett Baldwin wins assurances from the Secretary of State that all submissions that she passes to the consultation on public forests will be counted as individual submissions.
Harriett Baldwin (West Worcestershire) (Con): I have had more representations on this issue than on any other since I was elected-probably about 500 so far. If I send them on to the consultation with a covering letter, can the Secretary of State reassure my constituents that they will all be counted as individual submissions?
Mrs Spelman: I can give my hon. Friend that assurance. All hon. Members should actively encourage their constituents to read the genuine consultation document. There has been an awful lot of mythology in the press, and we would welcome responses to the genuine consultation.
