HL Deb 21 July 1977 vol 386 c608WA
Lord O'HAGAN

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What supplies of cheap sugar are available on world markets.

Lord STRABOLGI

World markets are currently well-supplied with sugar and world stocks are relatively high. In consequence, prices quoted on the free market are low: the London Daily Price for raw sugar on 19th July was £104 per metric ton.
