Looks like it has!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-12488847
Just had an email from my son who lives on the borders of Hamsterley Forest in Co Durham. He says that he is attending a demonstration next week as feelings are running high locally over Hamsterley following the sale of nearby Stang Forest. People have found that access roads to their houses and farms have been blocked by the new owners. They have been told they can put in a bid to keep Hamsterley Forest a public forest at the market price of £8 million.
If anyone wants to read what is happening in Co. Durham regarding Hamsterley and Stang forests, I have put a couple of links.
