BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY
STATE GRANTS IN BRITAIN EXPENDITURE NOT WARRANTED {United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) *• LONDON, April 10. The Sugar Committee’s majority report, signed by Mr Wilfred Green and Sir Kenneth Lee, concludes: “ The advantages of the beet sugar industry are not sufficient to justify a recommendation to continue the expenditure of about £7,000,000 annually on the industry, which has no reasonable prospect of ever being self-supporting.”. The minority report, signed by Mr Cyril Lloyd, took tbe opposite view. The majority report, however, detailed a plan of reorganisation if it was decided to continue State support. In the event of discontinuance they proposed that existing sugar beet growers should be compensated by cash payments on a descending scale over three years.
