Of course we appreciate very well the point that the hon. Gentleman has made about the products of the Caribbean. As he knows—it was discussed in the House last month—the Commission's proposals for sugar contain what we have asked for, which is the 1·4 million tons.
At the Ottawa Conference I had the opportunity of discussing many of these and other matters in detail with the Prime Ministers of the Caribbean who were present. It is perfectly true that I have been invited to visit their countries, but unfortunately it is not possible at the moment.
