HC Deb 14 February 1933 vol 274 c842W
Brigadier-General MAKINS

asked the hon. and gallant Member for Rye, as representing the Forestry Commissioners, how the prices obtained by the Forestry Commissioners for British standing timber of the different ordinary kinds of marketable quality at the present time compare with the average prices obtained during the first seven months of 1932?

Sir G. COURTHOPE

Sales of standing timber by the Forestry Commissioners are negligible. The prices obtained by them for felled timber at the present time do not vary appreciably from those obtained during the first seven months of 1932
