§ 46. Mr. T. COOKasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the egg imports from China in October, 1934, amounted to 208,471 great hundreds of eggs in shell as compared with 151,560 for the same month of 1933; and whether he has any statement to make on the matter?
Major DAVIESThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, the current arrangements for the regulation of imports of eggs in shell relate to the three months October to December, 1934, and too much significance should not therefore be attached to the figures for one month only of that period.
