HC Deb 26 June 1941 vol 372 c1130W
Captain Lyons

asked the Minister of Supply whether, to meet the shortage of imported timber, he will arrange for privately-owned standing oak in fields and hedgerows in Sussex to be felled and conditioned to supplement the supply necessary for essential purposes?

Sir A. Duncan

Arrangements have been in force for some time past to ensure, when felling licences are granted, that less accessible timber such as timber in fields and hedgerows is cut as well as timber in more convenient positions.
