HC Deb 30 March 1950 vol 473 c78W
Mr. Braine

asked the President of the Board of Trade how much timber was used in the construction of the ski jump on Hampstead Heath; and why he authorised its use for this purpose.

Mr. H. Wilson

About 10 standards of softwood were used in the construction of the Hampstead Heath ski jump. No authorisation was necessary for the use of this wood, which was the property of a scaffolding contractor who has used it before and will no doubt use it again in the normal course of his business. The hardwood used for the fencing and gates is free from control.
