§ 40. Mr. CULLINANasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that property owners are cutting down trees and exporting them wholesale and making no provision for selling firewood to the poor; whether he will take steps to prevent the wholesale clearance of timber; and, in the need for fuel, will he take immediate steps to have firewood made available for the poor at reasonable prices?
§ Mr. DUKEAs regards the cutting down of trees I would refer to my reply of 12th October to the question of the hon. Baronet the Member for Mid-Armagh. The suggestion in the last part of the question will be considered.
