HC Deb 27 July 1949 vol 467 c137W
77. Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress has been made towards providing freezing plant for mutton in the Falkland Islands; when it will be in operation; what is the estimated output per annum; and what arrangements are being made to transport it to this Kingdom.

Mr. Rees-Williams

An expert from the Colonial Development Corporation has recently returned from the Falkland Islands where he has been investigating a meat-freezing project. I am informed that his report, when completed, will be considered without delay by the Corporation.
