HC Deb 02 August 1939 vol 350 cc2347-8
4. Captain Alan Graham

asked the Prime Minister whether he will assure the House that he will prevent any part of the forthcoming loan to Poland being used for the production of synthetic rubber, which would be directly pre- judicial to the British rubber industry in Malaya?

12. Mr. Hannah

asked the Prime Minister whether he has taken steps to safeguard the interests of British Malaya by insisting that none of the money which is shortly to be lent by British taxpayers to support Polish industry shall be allotted to the production of synthetic rubber?

Mr. Butler

There is no proposal for the employment of the export credits, which are being given to Poland, on synthetic rubber.
