HC Deb 04 February 1948 vol 446 c298W
Mr. T. Reid

asked the President of the Board of Trade what percentage of plantation rubber is to be allowed in the United States of America in future in the manufacture of rubber goods.

Mr. Bottomley

I am not at the present time able to say what percentage of plantation rubber is likely to be allowed in future in the manufacture of rubber goods in the United States. The legislation which authorises the existing regulations in the United States is due to expire on 31st March, and I cannot predict what form the future legislation may take.
