HC Deb 30 July 1930 vol 242 c477
24. Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies what further measure of assistance the Government are prepared to grant to Mauritius and those West Indian colonies which are seriously affected as a result of the present crisis in the cane sugar industry?

Dr. SHIELS

There is a debate this afternoon in another place in the course of which my Noble Friend will necessarily make a statement, and, in the circumstances, perhaps the right hon. Gentleman will prefer to await that statement, which will be fuller than I could give in answer to a question.
