Foreign Office, April 19, 1904. WITH reference to your letter of the 12th instant, I am directed by the Marquess of Lansdowne to state that his Lordship would be glad if the Board of Trade would, as suggested in the last paragraph of your letter, cause a list of the "sugared products," for the Permanent Sugar Commission, to be prepared in consultation with the representatives of the confectionery and other trades which use sugar in this country.
I am to add that the Belgian Minister in London has been informed that the particulars for which he asked in his note of the 28th ultimo, will be supplied to him as soon as practicable.
