HC Deb 22 November 1967 vol 754 c356W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he now proposes to take to limit the cost of imported timber and timber products by encouraging better use of home-grown timber.

Mr. Darling

The amount of homegrown timber available can supply only a relatively minor part of our requirements of timber and timber products. The departments concerned are aware of the need to encourage the best practicable use of these supplies.
