HC Deb 13 November 1961 vol 649 c15W
61. Sir A. Hurd

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proportion of the total egg production in the United Kingdom he estimates is sold through licensed packing stations.

Mr. Soames

It is estimated that over the year about 60 per cent. of total production is sold through licensed packing stations. In proportion to commercial production the figure might be in the region of 70 per cent.
