§ 11. Sir JOHN WARDLAW-MILNEasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has any information to give the House regarding the negotiations for restriction in the production of rubber?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERAs the House is aware, negotiations have been proceeding between representatives of rubber producers in various territories. I am keeping in close touch with these negotiations. I explained to the House on 11th July last, in reply to questions by the hon. Members for Kirkdale (Mr. Rankin) and the Isle of Wight (Captain P. Macdonald), the conditions which His Majesty's Government regard as essential in any scheme that may be introduced. I think that there is general agreement as regards these essential conditions.
