§ Mr. Spearingasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what arrangements exist at present for delivery of raw sugar from plants of the British Sugar Corporation to port sugar refineries; how long these have been in operation; and if any changes are planned for the 1975–76 sugar beet crop.
§ Mr. BishopAll but two of the corporation's factories convert beet into white sugar in a single process. The corporation has been accustomed to sell the whole output of its raw sugar factories to the port refining companies, but the transaction is a matter for commercial negotiation between the companies concerned.
