HC Deb 30 July 1934 vol 292 c2266
37. Captain HEILGERS

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he will state the country of origin of eggs supplied to patients in the Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton?

Captain AUSTIN HUDSON (Lord of the Treasury)

I have been asked to reply. The country of origin of the eggs used at this and other Ministry hospitals varies according to the season and current contract prices. A preference of 25 per cent. ad valorem is given to English eggs over foreign.
