§ Mr. Dodds-Parkerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is satisfied with the progress made by the Colonial Food Yeast Company, in Jamaica; and in which other colonies he intends to set up further yeast factories.
§ Mr. George HallThe Colonial Food Yeast Company's factory in Jamaica began production of food yeast on a limited scale about a month ago, but production has been interrupted owing to technical difficulties which have been investigated and which it is hoped will be overcome in the very near future. It is not proposed to set up any further yeast factories in the Colonies until adequate experience has been gained with the Jamaica factory but the erection of a factory in Mauritius is under contemplation if circumstances prove favourable, and certain preliminary investigations have been undertaken to that end.
