HC Deb 05 June 1930 vol 239 c2383
76. Mr. CHRISTIE

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is now prepared to give effect to the recommendation of the National Farmers' Union that the sale of eggs to the consumer shall be only by weight or grade?

Dr. ADDISON

The whole question of the sale of eggs upon a weight or grade basis is receiving careful consideration in conjunction with the various interests concerned. It is hoped that proposals will emerge that will command a wide measure of general support.

Mr. ERNEST BROWN

Does the question of age also come into the consideration?
