§ 29. Mr. Sorensenasked the President of the Board of Trade what further representations he has received from growers of natural rubber within the Commonwealth and from Malaya, in particular, in respect of co-operation between them and the manufacturers of synthetic rubber with a view to ensuring an expanding market for both commodities.
§ Mr. LowMy right hon. Friend has not recently received representations on this point. But I am informed that a mission of United Kingdom rubber manufacturers has this month visited Malaya, where frank and cordial discussions on these problems took place.
§ Mr. SorensenDo I presume from the Answer that, in fact, some representations have been received, and that some effort has been made? Can the right hon. Gentleman say what steps are being taken by his Department to encourage this co-operation and co-ordination?
