HC Deb 19 June 1940 vol 362 cc173-4W
Mr. Stokes

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will state the qualifications of the present chairman of the Malayan delegation on the International Tin Control; and whether he has any practical experience of the tin industry?

Mr. George Hall

The senior member of the Malayan delegation on the International Tin Committee, Sir John Campbell, has had very long experience of administration in India and of international affairs; and, in the opinion of my Noble Friend, his knowledge and experience, including his experience in the working of the very similar International Rubber Regulation Scheme, make him admirably suited for this post.
