Eggs (Import Deposit Scheme)

HC Deb 11 December 1968 vol 775 cc160-1W

Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what effect recent Government measures will have on the importing of eggs for Scotland.

Mr. Ross

If my hon. Friend has in mind the Government's Import Deposit Scheme then the answer is that the Scheme will have no direct effect since birds' eggs are exempt.
