§ 60. Commander BELLAIRSasked the Prime Minister whether he can give particulars of the preference which Jamaica has given to cotton piece goods from Great Britain; and whether he could publish the acceptance which the Government sent on behalf of the people of this country for this generous act?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of SHIPPING (Colonel Leslie Wilson, for Lieut.-Colonel Amery)I am aware that the Legislative Council of Jamaica has had under its consideration proposals for the grant of a preference to goods from the British Empire, but the proposals at first submitted were not acceptable to the Council and no intimation has reached the Secretary of State that any preference has yet been granted.
