§ 24. Sir R. HAMILTONasked the Minister of Agriculture if he can state the market value of beet sugar produced in Great Britain in 1933 in respect of which a subsidy is payable?
§ Sir G. BOWYERThe average ex-factory price of refined sugar during the 1933–34 manufacturing season was 18s. 5½d. per cwt. duty paid, and on this basis the market value of the sugar produced from beet grown in Great Britain during 1933 is approximately £8,408,000.
§ Sir HERBERT SAMUELCould the hon. and gallant Member say what is the value of the sugar itself?
§ Sir G. BOWYERNo, I should require notice of that question.
