ROBERT BOOTHBY, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, announced at question time in the Commons yesterday that arrangements had been com- pleted to purchase the entire exports in the coming sea- sons of the sugar production of Australia, the Union of South Africa, Mauritius, Fiji and the British West In- dian colonies.

Arrivals of sugar in the United Kingdom would be spread over a long period beginning in about two months and would not therefore affect the im- mediate sugar supply.

Canada and New Zealand were partners with the United Kingdom Government, in these

purchases.
