§ 40. Sir G. Sinclairasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will enlarge the Commonwealth sugar quota to allow Malawi to join the membership of the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement, receive a quota, and thus replace by trade part of the 59W external support now received from Great Britain in the form of aid and technical assistance.
§ Mr. PeartI regret that I do not feel able to do so. We are already committed under the C.S.A. to buying a quantity representing some 90 per cent of our import requirements. It would not be prudent to extend our commitments further.
