HC Deb 14 July 1949 vol 467 c38W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has considered details which have been sent to him concerning the sugar estates in Barbados; and if, in view of the serious situation in which the West Indian sugar industry finds itself, he will reconsider his policy and make a statement.

Mr. Creech Jones

Yes, Sir. A delegation from the British West Indies Sugar Association is now in this country and discussions are proceeding with them.
