<p>The Government is expected to abandon controversial plans to sell off thousands of hectares of forest in England.</p>
<p>Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman is to announce that a consultation into the proposals is being halted.</p>
<p>Instead a new panel of experts will reportedly be created to examine public access to the woodland and biodiversity issues.</p>
<p>David Cameron heralded the about-turn at Prime Minister&#8217;s Questions on Wednesday, when he stated bluntly that he was unhappy with the policy.</p>
<p>Selling more than 250,000 hectares run by the Forestry Commission was intended to give the private sector, communities and charities greater involvement in woodland.</p>
<p>But the suggestion has attracted cross-party opposition and sparked a public outcry.</p>
<p>Critics argued it threatened public access and could lead to forests being damaged.</p>
