§ 52. Mr. Bossomasked the Minister of Supply if he will investigate the possibilities of getting timber from Germany for post-war housing and bringing it to this country in German ships as soon as the war in Europe ends.
§ Mr. de RothschildI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given by the Prime Minister yesterday to a similar question by the hon. Member for South Kensington (Sir W. Davison).
§ Mr. BossomCould my hon. Friend say if any action is being taken, because I believe something over 20 per cent. of the surface of Germany is now covered with soft wood that would be suitable for this purpose?
§ Mr. de RothschildI cannot add anything to the answer which was given by the Prime Minister yesterday, but every attention is being given to this subject at the present time.
