HC Deb 22 January 1947 vol 432 c196
27. Sir Basil Neven-Spence

asked the Secretary for the Colonies why coconut oil produced in Malaya is subject to export control.

Mr. Creech Jones

Control over exports of coconut oil produced in Malaya is required in order to implement recommendations for the allocation of shipments made by the International Emergency Food Council, on which this country is represented.
