HC Deb 28 November 1930 vol 245 cc1670-1W
Mr. DAY

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the total amount of contributions made by the British Government towards the sugar-beet industry during the previous five years, giving the particular figures for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I presume my hon. Friend refers to the subsidy paid under the Beet-Sugar (Subsidy) Act, 1925, and I would refer him to the figures supplied to the right hon. Member for South Molton (Mr. Lambert) on 17th November.
