Mr. David Adamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the large and increasing demand for cement in the West Indies and of the necessity for further employment, he has considered the urgency of cement manufacture in Jamaica, and, if not, will he now do so?
Mr. M. MacDonaldThe Government of Jamaica is fully alive to the necessity for further employment, and would no doubt regard sympathetically any pro-
2490Wposals for the establishment of a cement industry which promised to be beneficial to the colony. It would seem, however, that this is a matter for private enterprise.
