HC Deb 01 December 1959 vol 614 c1001
42. Mr. Willis

asked the Secretary of Slate for Scotland what progress has been made in the establishment of industries in Scotland to use the increasing quantities of timber now coming from Scottish forests.

Mr. Leburn

A company has recently been formed, in which four of the big paper manufacturing organisations have joined, for the purpose of investigating the possibility of building a pulp mill in the Highlands. A chipboard mill is under construction at Inverness. Current production of timber is being absorbed by existing markets.
