HC Deb 11 September 1941 vol 374 c303
59. Mr. Salt

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the Sugar Beet Commission are still functioning; and, if so, at what date they last met?

Mr. Hudson

The functions of the Sugar Commission have been virtually suspended since the war in consequence of the assumption of control over sugar by the Minister of Food. As far as I am aware, the last meeting of the Sugar Commission was held on 8th December, 1939.

Mr. Salt

Has any acknowledgment been made to the gentlemen who have given five years' service on this Sugar Commission, mostly without remuneration?
