§ 20. Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Materials whether he will publish the report of the Committee on Consumption Licensing of Softwood.
§ Sir A. SalterFrom the study just completed by officials and representatives of the Timber Development Association, who were not constituted as a formal Committee, it appears that, if consumption licensing were removed, total consumption of softwood would be likely to rise by some 230,000 standards a year. The full rise would not take place until the third year after the removal of licensing.
