THE Forestry Conunission have been told that unless free transport is provided to move it to mills in the south of Scotland, 45m. Cu. ft. of timber blown down in the Scottish Highlands during January, last year, will be lost.
A 100-per cent, subsidy for transport is being sought by the Scottish Timber Merchants' Association, who claim that the present subsidy still leaves the merchant with too heavy a burden. Lower prices for imported timber and the removal of licences arc stated to have made it uneconomic to send Scottish timber to the mills.
Top-level discussions are to take place soon.
