HC Deb 29 January 1952 vol 495 cc10-1W
80. Mr. Harold Davies

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give the yearly totals of the contribution to our dollar pool from the sales of Malayan tin and rubber from 1945 to 31st December, 1951.

Sir A. Salter

As the hon. Gentleman will be aware it is not the practice of the U.K. Government to give figures of the contribution to the central reserves of individual territories in the Sterling Area as distinct from the value of their exports.

For the information on Malayan exports of tin and rubber, I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the Malayan Trade Statistics, which are published monthly.
