HC Deb 14 February 1927 vol 202 c567
88. Mr. PENNY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the importance of Colonial cane-sugar production, he will consider the possibility of granting greater assistance to the industry so that it will more closely approximate to the help given to beet sugar?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Ronald McNeill)

My right hon. Friend has no reason to suppose that the existing preference on Empire sugar is inadequate.

Mr. PENNY

May I point out—

Mr. SPEAKER

There is another time for pointing out.
