63. Mr. Coulson

asked the Minister of Health in view of the inconvenience caused to some egg-processing firms by the lack of a firm decision, whether he will make an early announcement on the use for human consumption of infertile eggs from hatcheries.

Mr. Braine

Investigations are proceeding as quickly as possible, but I cannot yet say when my right hon. Friends will be in a position to make any statement.

64. Mr. Coulson

asked the Minister of Health what has been the outcome of his enquiries in the United States of America about the reason for that country's ban on the use of infertile eggs for human consumption.

Full information has not yet been received.
