皇冠体育app myth: 皇冠体育app Sunday Telegraph suggests that the decision to end the consultation on forestry sales will mean budget cuts in other areas such as flood defences, animal health and national parks.

皇冠体育app truth: 皇冠体育app decision to end the forestry consultation will not lead to any further cuts to the Defra budget for flood defences, animal health or any other area. As this was a consultation, no potential sales were factored into the savings required to meet our Spending Review settlement, and therefore there will be no impact on Defra鈥檚 spending plans in other areas.
