§ Mr. WigginThe total area of productive woodland on 31 March 1980 was 200,000 hectares in Wales, 820,000 hectares in Scotland and 729,000 hectares in England. Home production in the year ended 31 December 1979 amounted to 4.3 million cubic metres (including 0.6 million cubic metres from Wales), representing a 9 per cent. level of self sufficiency. By the turn of the century home production is expected to reach 7.6 million cubic metres (including an estimated 1.1 million cubic metres from Wales), representing 15 percent. of the projected level of consumption.
