HC Deb 11 July 1938 vol 338 c920
62. Captain Peter Macdonald

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when the revised estimates of the British Empire sugar consumption for the current year will be available; and whether any arrangements are to be made to assist Jamaica by the redistribution to that island of part of those quotas which other Colonies have been unable to fulfil?

Mr. M. MacDonald

The whole matter is under the consideration of the International Sugar Council which stands adjourned until Wednesday next. I regret that I am unable to make any statement until the meeting has concluded.
