§ Mr. Hamlingasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will give instructions to permit the free import of eggs when the standard egg retails at more than 3s. 6d. a dozen.
§ Mr. DarlingThere are no quota restrictions on the importation of eggs in shell. The Board of Trade is always ready to consider applications from representative bodies in trade and industry for alterations in protective duties, but it would not be practicable to vary import duties according to changes in the retail prices of standard eggs.
