HC Deb 25 April 1934 vol 288 cc1716-7W
Mr. BATEY

asked the hon. and gallant Member for Rye, as representing the Forestry Commissioners, what is the value of the firewood delivered from the various estates and the cost of labour for the same for 1933, giving the number of men so employed?

Sir G. COURTHOPE

The value of the firewood sold by the Forestry Commissioners during 1933 was approximately £4,100. It is not practicable to state the cost of labour and numbers employed, as firewood is often obtained as a residue when converting timber.
