asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the interruption of supplies of rice from the Far East, it is intended to encourage the production of this food in British Guiana to meet the needs of the West Indies?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

Yes, Sir. Urgent measures have been taken to bring rice production in British Guiana to a maximum.
