§ 106. Mr. Michael Nobleasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what proposals he has for utilising the large supplies of timber being produced in Argyllshire.
§ Mr. MaclayThe present output of timber in Argyllshire is finding a market, mainly as mining timber either round or sawn, or as conventional sawn lumber. There will, however, be a gradual increase in supplies, particularly in the form of thinnings from the Forestry Commission's softwood plantations, for which additional outlets will eventualy be required. This problem is actively engaging the Commissioners' attention.
