§ Colonel Clarkeasked the President of the Board of Trade to state the capacity of the fibre board industry in Great Britain; and how many firms are now producing fibre board.
§ Mr. H. WilsonThe term "fibreboard" has various meanings in the paper trade but I assume that the hon. and gallant Member refers to such boards as boot and shoe board and trunk and suitcase board. Precise information as to existing capacity for the production of such board is not available but it is of the order of 15,000 tons a year and there are 13 firms at present engaged on this type of production.
