HC Deb 04 March 1925 vol 181 cc461-2W
Sir M. MANNINGHAM-BULLER

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, under the Trade Facilities Act, any grant has been made, or is contemplated, to any sugar estate in the West Indies; and, if so, what is the amount?

Mr. GUINNESS

As reported to Parliament on 21st July, 1924 (see HOUSE of Commons Paper 121 of 1924), a loan of £115,000 raised by the Jamaica Sugar Estates, Limited, has been guaranteed under the Act. The purpose of this loan is to buy machinery in this country. I am not aware of any other application from West Indian sugar estates.
