Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 February 2026

Debate

Construction Industry: Timber

Contribution

As I mentioned earlier, we do not think the amount of imported timber is the way forward, and we have to change that. The noble Lord said that 10% is homegrown; our figures are that 80% is imported. It is important that we look at how best to turn that around. Importing huge amounts of end-product is not good for our national security, so it is important that we look at how we increase homegrown timber.
