53. Mr. Marquand

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what plans for the establishment of factories to process copra and other coconut products have been submitted to him by the Government of Dominica.

Mr. Alport

The Administrator has informed my right hon. Friend that the Government of Dominica have no plans for establishing factories to process copra and other coconut products, but that they would be prepared to give every assistance to firms interested in such a project. He adds that a factory to process coconut fibre is in course of construction and has been granted pioneer status.
