§ Captain WRIGHTasked the Prime Minister whether the recommendations of the British Empire Producers' Organisation for the development of the sugar industry of the Empire, laid before the Government on the 21st June, 1916, have yet received the consideration then promised; has any action been taken; and if he will take an early opportunity to make a declaration of the Government's future policy in respect of this industry?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI cannot make any statement at present beyond assuring my hon. Friend that the future of the sugar industry of the Empire has received, and will receive, the earnest consideration of the Government.
