§ Mr. Wingfield Digbyasked the Postmaster-General whether he will consult the chairman of the reconstituted Forestry Commission with a view to exploring an increased use of home-grown timber for telegraph poles above the present level of 10 per cent.
§ Mr. BennWe keep in close touch with the Forestry Commission with the aim of getting more home-grown poles. Recent tests have enabled us to accept 103W further species of home-grown timber, but it is too early to say how many poles these species are likely to give us.
