HC Deb 05 May 1926 vol 195 c290W
Sir V. BOWATER

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state the proportion of British refined sugar, apart from the output of sugar-beet sugar, manufactured in this country as compared with the total annual imports from abroad?

Mr. A. M. SAMUEL

Of the total imports of unrefined and refined sugar in 1925 about 57 per cent. consisted of unrefined cane sugar which was held in bond for refining.
