asked the Under Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he will make a statement on the production of a new vegetable oil in Tongaland, South Africa; whether the Government is making a grant towards its development; what acreage has been allocated for an experimental plantation; and how long it is expected before commercial exportation can be made to this country.

Production within the Union of South Africa is a matter for the Union Government. I have no information on the particular project to which the hon. Member refers.
