HC Deb 05 August 1942 vol 382 cc1037-8
69. Mr. Bowles

asked the Minister of Supply what information he has relating to the wrongful use of rubber in contravention of the Defence Regulations; and whether any steps have been taken to prosecute any firms guilty of this contravention?

Sir A. Duncan

To ensure the observance of the Statutory Orders a small staff of full-time inspectors is employed by the Rubber Control. One case has been dealt with by the courts, and others are under investigation.
