§ 170. Major Spenceasked the President of the Board of Trade what total acreage of woodlands has been felled in Scotland during the war: and if he will give separate totals for woodlands owned privately and woodlands owned by the Forestry Commission.
§ Mr. BelcherThe total quantity of timber produced in Scotland between September, 1939, and June, 1945, was approximately 5,726,000 tons. The statistics kept by the Board of Trade do not indicate either the total acreage or the division of output between privately owned woodlands and those owned by the Forestry Commission. I am inquiring of the Commission the quantity produced from their woodlands and will communicate with my hon. Friend.
