HC Deb 17 February 1919 vol 112 cc574-5W
Mr. R. YOUNG

asked the Food Controller whether it is intended to wind up the Sugar Commission at an early date; and, if so, why this course is to be taken?

Mr. McCURDY

It is not proposed to terminate the control exercised by the Royal Commission on the Sugar Supply until conditions in respect of freight and exchange make it possible for the trade to undertake the supply without risk of failure to secure sufficient quantities of sugar to meet the requirements of this country.
