HC Deb 03 March 1952 vol 497 c15W
109. Mr. Carson

asked the Minister of Food the average age of home-produced eggs at present selling in the shops; and to what extent this applies in the glut period.

Dr. Hill

A fair average would be two and a half weeks, and there is little variation at any season of the year.

110. Mr. Carson

asked the Minister of Food whether he will be able to announce a period of egg derationing this year.

Dr. Hill

It is too early yet to say.
