asked the Minister of Food what quantity of sugar is being or has been recently shipped to Sweden from this country.

Dr. Summerskill

As a result of recent negotiations shipments of refined sugar to Sweden will be made during the next few months. None of this sugar will come from supplies available for consumption in the United Kingdom, but from raw sugar specially imported for the purpose.
