Mr. W. T. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what action is to be taken on the recommendation of the recent British Guiana sugar report, that the Imperial Government should pay a special subsidy of £1 a ton to producers, in view of their specially high costs of production.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsAs was stated at the time of the publication of this report, my predecessor did not consider it appropriate to single out the sugar industry in one particular territory for special assistance of this kind, and I agree with his view.
