HC Deb 02 December 1965 vol 721 c243W
83. Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what measures he proposes to take to replace the loss of Rhodesian sugar imports.

Mr. Pearl

None. Imports of sugar from Southern Rhodesia represented about 2 per cent. of our total sugar imports in the 12 months ending 31st October, 1965. There is a world surplus of sugar and there will be no difficulty in replacing these quantities from other suppliers.
