§ 79. Captain John Crowderasked the Minister of Food if he is aware of the difficulty of obtaining shell eggs against emergency ration cards; and if he will take action to ease the difficulty.
§ Mr. StracheyI realise that this is sometimes difficult. If the hon. Member knows of a particular case and will send me details, I will have inquiries made.
§ Captain CrowderWould the Minister bear in mind that the difficulty arises particularly during the school holidays, when mothers have great difficulty in getting shell eggs for children at home for five or six weeks?
§ Mr. StracheyI realise that is the difficulty.
