TWO FORMER Cabinet ministers have urged the Freundel Stuart Administration to consider scaling down its multimillion dollar sugar industry restructuring programme, saying conditions had changed too drastically.

They voiced their concerns about the project while addressing a meeting of the St Joseph constituency branch of the Barbados Labour Party (BLP) at St Bernard’s Primary School yesterday.
