HC Deb 08 July 1930 vol 241 cc241-2W
Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies the present position with reference to the offer to the Government in respect of the sugar industry in the West Indies?

Dr. SHIELS

I understand that the hon. Member's question is intended to allude to the offer of His Majesty's Government to the various West Indian Governments which is set out in Appendix I to Cmd. 3523. It has not proved practicable for any of the sugar producing Colonies concerned to take advantage of the offer.
