HC Deb 13 May 1936 vol 312 c396W
Mr. de ROTHSCHILD

asked the Minister of Agriculture when it is proposed that the British Sugar Corporation should formally take over the factories of the beet-sugar companies?

Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

The British Sugar Corporation will take over the factories of the beet-sugar manufacturing companies as soon as practicable after it has been formally constituted, which, as my hon. Friend will realise, will not be possible until the Sugar Industry (Re-organisation) Bill becomes law.
