     1        small amount and probably comes from birch in Finland --
     2        you show how the 1590 tonnes is made up?
     3        A.  Yes, here we have the area thinned which I have shown
     4        as 8.4 hectares.  This is based on a yield of 60 metre cube
     5        per hectare in thinning, giving you 504 metre cube of
     6        roundwood which would be used for pulp production.  That is
     7        assuming a yield by taking the thinnings from Forest
     8        Enterprise existing forest at 60 metre cube per hectare.
     9
    10   Q.   If one adds the 504 metre cube to 1,086 metre cube you have
    11        1590 metre cube, and on the previous page you have got 1590
    12        tonnes of pulpwood?
    13        A.  Yes.
    14
    15   Q.   How do they relate to each other?
    16        A.  Well, what we are doing is coming down to the total
    17        amount of pulpwood which we have got in the figures in the
    18        middle of the page No. 5.  So what we have done is we have
    19        taken, first of all, the area clearfelled which based ----
    20
    21   MR. MORRIS:  Can I just interrupt?  On the area of clearfelled
    22        above, 17.8 hectares of which 4,254 cubic metre for sawmill
    23        product and 6,086 for pulp, the sawmill product includes
    24        residues, does it not?  Is that where you get the 180
    25        tonnes of sawmill residues?
    26        A.  The 180 tonnes of sawmill residue is taken from the
    27        figure which in the lower half of page 5, you will see that
    28        under the figure of the amount of sawn wood derived from
    29        the sawlogs which was 1,883 metre cube, you have a figure
    30        of sawmill residues, fibre for panels and pulp, the total
    31        available to be provided for pulp would be 1,261, but in
    32        point of fact Iggesund only take from that 180 metre cubed.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  But that comes from the 4,254 metre cube for
    35        sawmill products?
    36        A.  Yes.  One of the problems here is when one is talking
    37        in terms of tonnage and metre cube is the point I made
    38        earlier, that tonnage and metre cube are closely allied.
    39
    40   Q.   It may have seemed obvious, but that is why I asked you.
    41        It is not coincidence because you are saying that a metre
    42        cube of roundwood comes out as near as makes no difference
    43        at one metric tonne?
    44        A.  Yes, it is a common parlance.
    45
    46   Q.   It is a happy coincidence if one needs to do some
    47        arithmetic?
    48        A.  It makes it a bit easier, but it allows me to say that
    49        in terms of the ultimate waste, which is the remainder of
    50        waste which eventually of course if such is substantial 
    51        will be burned, the 820 is actually just a makeup figure so 
    52        that the figures actually add up.  But it would obviously 
    53        be less or more according to the conversion between metre
    54        cube and tonnage.
    55
    56   MR. MORRIS:  The sawmill residues, fibre for panels and pulp
    57        1,261 tonnes, you say that in that particular factory only
    58        180 cubic metres of that get used?
    59        A.  From the sawmill transferred to a pulp. The two
    60        operations are separate.
