HC Deb 22 February 1971 vol 812 c25W
111. Earl of Dalkeith

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to what extent was the £73 million increase in the cost of imported timber and processed timber including pulp and paper between 1968 and 1970 attributable to the rise in the volume imported, and to rising prices, respectively.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Most, if not all, of the increase in the value of imports between 1968 and 1970 was due to price changes.
