HC Deb 15 November 1948 vol 458 c8W
91. Mr. Marples

asked the President of the Board of Trade what arrangements he has made to import some of the softwoods which British Columbia is unable to dispose of.

Mr. Bottomley

We hope in the near future, subject to price and specification, to be able to place orders for a further quantity of softwood from British Columbia, but we cannot afford all the timber we should like to have.
