§ Mr. W. THORNEasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether a commission has recently sat in Buluwayo to examine into the question of sending frozen beef from Rhodesia to London; and whether he can give any information as to the conclusions they came to, or if there is any prospect of such a trade being developed?

§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe hon. Member probably refers to a committee of Rhodesian farmers which I understand is making inquiries with regard to the plant necessary for the erection of canning works. All matters connected with the future of the cattle industry of Rhodesia are receiving the closest attention in the territory. It is not, however, possible to say at present within what period we may expect to draw supplies of frozen meat from Rhodesia.
