I thank the
honourable member for some notice of this question.
(1)–(6)
While the Forest Products Commission supplies jarrah timber to mills, it does
not keep comprehensive records of the quantity, price and customers and the
contractual arrangements for the production and sale of jarrah railway sleepers
by those mills.
