31. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that quantities of beef and mutton are thrown away each Autumn in the Falkland Islands because there is no refrigerator plant; and if he will take steps to meet this situation so that Britain may benefit.

Mr. Rees-Williams

Yes. The Colonial Development Corporation are already investigating a meat freezing project.
