I am not sure that amendments Nos. 82 and 83 have the same intent. The amendment states that one can cut up to 15 cu. m on one's land but I want to exclude a constituent of parkland or wood pasture, including ancient heritage and veteran trees, on an agricultural holding. I am not sure whether that exclusion will be included in the Minister of State's version of the Bill, as it will be amended. People should not be allowed cut up to 15 cu. m in those particular areas. The Minister of State might clarify if one will be able to cut 15 cu. m if one has wood pasture or ancient heritage and veteran trees on an agriculture holding.
