HC Deb 17 December 1946 vol 431 c341W
81. Mr. Gallacher

asked the President of the Board of Trade the amount of the wood quota for Scotland for 1946; and if there will be any increase in the wood quota for 1947.

Mr. Belcher

No special timber quota is given to Scotland—or for that matter to England or Wales. Allocations for particular purposes are made to the Scottish Departments, but other Scottish timber requirements are met from general Departmental allocations. Future timber supply prospects are too uncertain to state whether it is possible to make any increase in the allocations for 1947.
