HC Deb 02 May 1932 vol 265 cc797-8
46. Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the Prime Minister what are to be the terms of reference of the committee that is to investigate the sugar-beet industry; when this committee is to be set up; whether it will supersede the investigations now being carried out by a depart mental committee into this question; and whether he will consider the desirability of instructing this committee to inquire not only into the question of home-grown sugar, but also into the best method of evolving an Imperial sugar policy?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)

The matter is under consideration, and a statement will be made in due course.

Captain MACDONALD

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when his statement will be made?

The PRIME MINISTER

As I have said, in due course.
