in regard to the sugar preference proposals of the Imperial Economic Conference; and, if so, from what bodies?

Mr. THOMAS

Resolutions on this matter have been received, in the case of British Guiana, from the Chamber of Commerce and the Sugar Planters' Association; of Trinidad, from the Legislative Council; and of Jamaica, from the Chamber of Commerce, the Jamaica Imperial Association and the Frankfield Citizens' Association. I have received no resolution from Barbados.

Mr. AMERY

Will the right hon. Gentleman publish those communications?

Mr. THOMAS

I will consider that suggestion.
