HC Deb 11 February 1915 vol 69 cc699-700
5. Mr. LOUGH

asked whether Russia has given notice of its intention to withdraw from the Brussels Sugar Convention; and whether any communications have passed amongst the other Allied Powers as to the course that they were going to adopt with regard to maintaining the Convention?

Sir E. GREY

I have no information as to the first part of the question. The answer to the second part is in the negative. I do not recall any mention of the Sugar Convention during the last six months.

20. Mr. MORRELL

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will say why the Report of the Royal Commission on the Sugar Supply has not yet been presented to Parliament?

Mr. McKENNA

The Royal Commission have not yet issued a Report, and they do not think it would be in the public interest to issue an Interim Report at the present time.

Mr. MORRELL

Is it not the fact that some Report has already been prepared?

Mr. McKENNA

No, Sir.
