HC Deb 17 December 1946 vol 431 c337W
64. Sir W. Smithers

asked the President of the Board of Trade how much of the £18,022,868 worth of rubber is still in Government hands; and what is the profit or loss on sales and on remaining stocks valued at the latest available market price.

Mr. Belcher

Sales from United Kingdom stocks since September show a profit of about ⅛d. per lb. There is no market price for spot rubber in the United Kingdom at present.
