§ 23. Sir W. de FRECEasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether in any foreign rubber-producing countries the Government has granted a subsidy or made an allowance to rubber planters under its jurisdiction; and whether he has considered the application of this policy to similarly situated British Colonies?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI understand that in some foreign countries such a subsidy is granted, but I have no definite information, and I would suggest reference to my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. So far as I am aware no similar action is contemplated in any of the Colonies.
