HC Deb 11 July 1950 vol 477 c1138
49. Mr. Osborne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many dollars he placed at the disposal of the German Government for the purchase of Swedish timber; and why this timber was not secured for the housing needs of this country.

Sir S. Cripps

None, Sir.

Mr. Osborne

If I bring the Chancellor evidence from the timber importing trade that this has been done, will he give it consideration?

Sir S. Cripps

I am afraid it is impossible for the hon. Member to bring such evidence.
