The public body responsible for managing the UK's forests costs less than the price of a packet of crisps a year for each person in England, according to Whitehall's largest trade union.
The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union, which represents 900 staff at the Forestry Commission, said ministers' controversial proposal to sell-off large parts of England's forests made little sense, because the organisation responsible for managing many of them offered taxpayers good value for money.
