asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that Malayan rubber is still being shipped to China and that both the s.s. "Empire Mountain" and the s.s. "Marion" are engaged in this traffic; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter.

Mr. J. Griffiths

Yes. The two vessels in question are transporting the cargo of rubber referred to in my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary's answer to the hon. Member for Maidstone (Mr. Bossom) on 12th of February. As far as the last part of the Question is concerned, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the second part of the answer referred to above.
