asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that Tan Kah Kee and Company, Limited, have gone into liquidation through selling rubber footwear at unremunerative prices in the United Kingdom; and whether he will use his influence in the interests of trade, both in. Malaya and the United Kingdom, to prevent other Malayan manufacturers from adopting a similar policy of dumping in the United Kingdom market?

I am aware that Messrs. Tan Kah Kee and Company, Limited, have gone into liquidation, but I do not know whether this was due to the reasons stated by my hon. Friend. As regards the second part of the question, I am not in a position to add anything to the reply which my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade gave to the hon. Member for Mid-Bedford (Mr. Lennox-Boyd) on Monday last.
