Are the Ministers aware that there is a policy at the present time, especially in national parks, whereby fallen timber cannot be removed? It is supposed to be left there to rot. Are they also aware that this is where the insect that spreads Lyme disease thrives? That has harmed and hurt so many people who have visited our forests. I just want the Ministers to answer this question. Are they aware that is happening?
