HC Deb 17 October 1939 vol 352 c696W
Mr. V. Adams

asked the Minister of Supply what precautions are being taken to prevent shipment of tin and rubber from the United Kingdom to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from eventually reaching an enemy destination?

Mr. Burgin

The quantities involved are not large in relation to the quantities required by the U.S.S.R. for its own use, and I do not think that there is any possibility of the rubber and tin reaching Germany.
