§ 61. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Food if he is aware that approximately 1,000 tons of brown Cuban sugar have been dumped by his Department on a waste piece of ground near the canal at Barton Hill, Bristol, and covered with a tarpaulin; and what steps are being taken to prevent the deterioration of this 162W food through dampness and from being eaten by rats.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeNo. The site of this raw sugar is not waste land but protected private ground adjoining warehouse buildings under the constant supervision of experienced public warehouse keepers. The sugar is fully protected against the weather and is in no danger of being eaten by rats.
