§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will supply a bread-fruit processing machine to the Montserrat Government; what estimate he has made of the contribution such a machine could make to the food supply of Montserrat; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WoodThe Montserrat Government is now examining with my Development Division in Barbados and with the United Nations Development Programme the possible use of breadfruit for animal feed and also as an export for human consumption. If these discussions 271W are satisfactory, I shall be ready to consider an application for financial assistance towards the provision of processing machinery.
