§ 9. Mr. Peter Smithersasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware of the shortage of milk and bread in Dominica; and what steps he is taking to improve the position.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsDominica has never produced all the fresh milk it needs, but imported dried and other milk products are readily available. Steps are being taken to improve the local livestock industry with a view to securing increased supplies of fresh milk. Owing to late arrivals, supplies of flour to bakers have at times been restricted, but they are now satisfactory.
§ Mr. SmithersIn view of the fact that the Minister considers the position satisfactory can he give us the per capita consumption figures?
§ Mr. GriffithsNo, not without notice.
