HC Deb 18 October 1944 vol 403 c2373
56. Lady Apsley

asked the Minister of Food what arrangements have been made with overseas Colonies or foreign countries for the bulk purchase of sugar in the years immediately following the war.

Colonel Llewellin

We have arranged to purchase the whole exportable surplus of sugar from Australia, South Africa, British West Indies, British Guiana, the East African Territories, Fiji and Mauritius, as well as from San Domingo and Haiti up to the end of 1946.

Lady Apsley

While thanking my right hon. and gallant Friend for that reply, may I ask whether he is aware of the general satisfaction it will give?
