§ 70. Sir A. Baillieasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what orders have been issued from his Department that every cottager must first fill in a form and apply for a licence from the local food controller before selling any eggs?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI assume that my hon. Friend is referring to the Food Control Committees (Local Distribution) Order. It provides for the issue of licences by the Committees in respect of retail sales of specified commodities, including eggs.
§ Sir A. BaillieIs my right hon. Friend not a little apprehensive that if some of these poor cottagers have to fill in forms, the eggs may not be quite fresh, or is it contemplated that the "poolocrats" will put these rather unfresh eggs into an eggs' pool?
§ Mr. MorrisonNeither of those contingencies is likely to arise.
