§ 59. Mr. Nabarroasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what are the short-term prospects for increasing colonial sugar production; how much additional colonial sugar for the United Kingdom domestic market can be anticipated during 1952; and from which Colonies.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydExports of colonial sugar have increased substantially over the last few years, and it is expected that the rate of increase will be maintained. It is too early yet to give firm estimates for 1952, but the United Kingdom may in that year obtain from the British West Indies, Fiji and Mauritius about 1,390,000 tons, an increase of about 70,000 tons over imports in 1951.
