§ 34. Mr. Braineasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the importance of the citrus industry to the economy of the West Indies, he will give an assurance that there will be no further liberalisation of dollar citrus imports, at least for a period which will allow producers to make necessary adjustments.
§ Sir D. EcclesCitrus imports were excluded from the recent dollar liberalisation, and producers in the West Indies have therefore an opportunity to make adjustments. We always do our best to give due weight to the views of Colonial Governments.
