Mr. SWAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in the interests of the development of the agricultural possibilities of British Guiana and the West Indies, he will direct the Commissioner for Agriculture for the West Indies and the officers administering the Governments of British Guiana and the West Indies to arrange for the holding of an annual agricultural conference in one or other of these Colonies?

Lieut.-Colonel AMERY

The question of the future of the Imperial Department of Agriculture is under discussion with the Commissioner, who has come to this country for the purpose, and the point referred to by the hon. Member will not be overlooked.
