§ Mr. M'ARTHURasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that there is now no expert in sugar refining among the British representatives upon the International Sugar Commission, he will take steps to have such an expert appointed, or, if that be at present impracticable, to arrange for the British Refining Association to have timely notice of any question affecting their interests which is to be brought before the Commission?
§ Sir EDWARD GREYHis Majesty's Government consider that there is no occasion for the appointment of an expert delegate in present circumstances. Where it seems desirable, however, steps shall be taken to consult the British Sugar Refiners on any question which is likely to affect their interests.
