HC Deb 13 May 1980 vol 984 c405W
Mr. Wheeler

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how much timber and timber-based products are imported into the United Kingdom; and how this compares with United Kingdom-produced timber.

Mr. Parkinson

The value of imports of timber and timber based products by the United Kingdom in 1979 was £2,817 million. In the same year, 9 per cent. of the wood raw material equivalent of imports of timber and timber-based products was derived from home-grown timber.
