HC Deb 01 February 1951 vol 483 c135W
82. Mr. Fisher

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will ban the export of rubber and tin to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Mr. H. Wilson

The quantities of rubber exported to Russia from this country and British Colonial Territories are closely watched. Exports have been running at normal levels and no drastic action of the kind suggested by the hon. Member is contemplated. Exports of tin to the Soviet Union are negligible.
