§ Mr. DafisTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what information he has on the sources within the Amazon rain forest area of the mahogany provided by Brazilian suppliers to the principal British importers.
§ Mr. Needham[holding answer 24 June 1994]: There are no official sources for information on the importation of Brazilian mahogany into the United Kingdom. The information has not been available since 1992 because the United Kingdom trade classification no longer separately identifies mahogany from several other non-coniferous woods.
Information on United Kingdom importing companies and Brazilian exporting companies is not available.
