HC Deb 04 October 1944 vol 403 c951W
Mr. Mathers

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has received the Report of Professor Shepheard regarding the Fiji sugar industry; and whether he will make a statement giving particulars of the proposals and show what is being done to improve the position.

Colonel Stanley

I have very recently received Professor Shepheard's report. As the hon. Member will appreciate, the Report calls for very careful consideration in detail and I regret I am not at present in a position to make a statement.
