asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will lay upon the Table the correspondence between the Government and the Governors of the Straits Settlements and Ceylon over the past two years on the subject of the rubber industry?

I have been asked to answer this question. If there is any general demand, my Noble Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies is prepared to publish papers relating to the recent proposals for renewed restriction on the output of rubber, which is doubtless what the hon. Member desires.
