HC Deb 10 March 1953 vol 512 c1116
34. Mr. Spence

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will allow increased credit facilities to be available, if required, to carry out the financing and marketing of the abnormally large quantities of timber which will be processed in Scotland this year.

The Economic Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. R. Maudling)

The provision of credit is a matter for the banks, and I have no reason to doubt that all justifiable needs of credit for the marketing of timber this year will be met.
