91. Mrs. Rathboneasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether there is to be any system of priorities in the distribution of eggs to invalids, especially in the type of case of which the Ministry has been given information by the hon. Member for Bodmin?
Major Lloyd GeorgeArrangements have been made for hospitals to obtain additional supplies of eggs in cases in which the normal distribution does not provide them with sufficient for the treatment of certain classes of patient. A priority scheme for general application has not yet been found feasible in view of the limited supplies of eggs at present available, but the matter is under consideration at the present time.
