§ Mr. FLAVINasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can state why wholesale merchants in Kerry and Cork have been refused a supply of British manufactured sugar, although they have made numerous requests for the same?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe Royal Commission on Sugar Supplies does not itself distribute British refined sugar. But presumably Kerry and Cork have been disappointed for the same reason that similar requests have not been complied with elsewhere, namely, that the supply is not sufficient to satisfy all demands, and has to be apportioned by refiners amongst the several applicants as equitably as possible. Doubtless Kerry and Cork will receive their due share in the long run.
