§ 86. Colonel Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in order to encourage egg-production as a home industry, he will consider the issue of regulations for the marking of foreign eggs?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Sir William Mitchell-Thomson)I have been asked to reply. If foreign eggs are described as fresh or new laid, that description must, under the Regulations of the Sale of Food Order, 1921, also include the word "imported" or words disclosing the country of origin.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIn view of the approaching election, will the hon. Gentleman consider the dating of all eggs?
