§ Mr. Gammansasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies for what reasons imports of bacon and pickled porkstuffs from Canada have been banned from entering Barbados.
Mr. GriffithsImports into the Colony are controlled by import licences which are issued by the Colonial authorities in the light of the general supply and foreign exchange position. The Governor states that, although applications for licences to import these foodstuffs from Canada were refused for a time, licences have recently been issued for the import of certain quantities of pickled pork from Canada.
