Does the Prime Minister realise there are far too few ministerial visits to the Caribbean Commonwealth, which is traditionally friendly to this country? Does he realise the social and political instability that will be created if the Caribbean Commonwealth is no longer guaranteed a substantial proportion of cane sugar and banana imports into this country, since these products provide the main basis of employment in many Caribbean countries? Imports from them are being undercut under the present Common Market arrangements.
