Flight-Licutcnant Parkin

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what suggestions he has received from his local officials for the disposal of the emergency wood dump at Dudbridge, near Stroud; and if he will see that this wood is put to good use before it deteriorates.

Mr. Shinwell

Authority has been given to open this dump to meet local needs. Distribution is being organised jointly by the rural and urban district councils, and logs will be made available to consumers in the rural and urban districts at 45. 3d. and 4s. per cwt respectively. The local merchants have been advised that this wood is now available for distribution in accordance with consumers' needs.
