§ 77. Mr. W. Griffithsasked the Minister of Agriculture what was the number of home-produced eggs in the first six months of 1951; and what has been the production for the same period in 1952.
§ Mr. NugentI regret that statistics of egg production at six monthly intervals are not available. In the twelve months ended 31st May, 1952, the total number of hen and duck eggs produced in the United Kingdom was estimated at 8,380 million. The corresponding figure for 1950–51 was 8,638 million.
