§ 83. Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that Ceylon has agreed to export 250,000 tons of rubber to China during the next five years; and when the restriction on the shipment of this commodity from Malaya to China is to be lifted.
§ Mr. LytteltonYes. With regard to the second part of the Question, the embargo on shipping rubber to China from Malaya could not be lifted without contravening Her Majesty's Government's obligation under the United Nations General Assembly Resolution of 18th May, 1951, which calls on member States to deny contributions to the military strength of the aggressor in Korea.
