HC Deb 03 April 1940 vol 359 cc160-1
30. Sir J. Lamb (for Mr. Lyons)

asked the Minister of Food whether he will state the average prices, wholesale and retail, respectively, of eggs of all descriptions in the City of Leicester for the first two weeks of March, 1940, and 1939, respectively?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

As the reply is in the form of a statistical table, I will, with my hon. and learned Friend's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the statement:

Sir J. Lamb

Is my right hon. Friend aware that the price of eggs last week was very much lower—only about 1s. 6d.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Yes, Sir.
