HC Deb 22 February 1949 vol 461 cc256-7W
84. Mr. Vane

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proportion of the mining timber of all classes needed to achieve the coal output envisaged in Command Paper No. 7572 on European Co-operation, Chapter 3, is to be found from home-grown supplies.

Mr. J. Edwards

We are anxious that home woodlands shall provide as high a proportion of our mining timber requirements as good forestry will allow: by 1952–53 this should have settled down to between 10 and 15 per cent.
