Mr. Parker
asked the Minister of Supply what steps are being taken to control the felling and thinning of home-grown timber during the war, with a view to utilising our resources to the national advantage?
Colonel Llewellin
The felling and thinning of home-grown timber is being controlled through the Timber Control of the Ministry of Supply. A licensing system has been established and maximum prices fixed by the Control of Growing Trees (No. 2) Order, and steps are being taken to stimulate production on suitable lines.
