HC Deb 08 July 1982 vol 27 c206W
45. Miss Fookes

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps to ensure that all eggs produced by the battery cage system are clearly marked "battery".

Mrs. Fenner

No. EC Regulation 2772/75 controls the marking and labelling of eggs but makes no provision for either individual eggs or packs to indicate the method of production. Amendment of the regulation would require agreement at the Community level.
