HC Deb 01 February 1951 vol 483 c147W
Mr. P. Smithers

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will investigate the nutritive value of the fruits of Gulielma utilis with a view to introducing this palm as a garden crop for native peoples in territories where it is not at present cultivated.

Mr. J. Griffiths

The possibility of trial propagation of this palm in British Colonial Territories is being examined. At present, so far as I am aware, it is grown only in Trinidad.
