Description
Sessional paper of 1934: paper laid on the table of the legislative council. The following report describes an investigation, carried out on the recommendation of the Empire Timbers Committee of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, into the commercial possibilities and development of the forests of Nigeria.
The deliberations of the Committee upon the means of increasing trade in Empire timbers had shown the primary need to be a much closer liaison between the producing interests in the exporting colonies and the marketing and using interests in the United Kingdom. The Committee suggested that this liaison might be best established by the appointment of a special officer, trained in timber technology and acquainted with the commercial requirements of the British market, who should visit the colonies concerned.
