HC Deb 17 July 1989 vol 157 c50W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will review(a) the compensation paid to the egg industry and (b) other grants, in the light of recent concern about the quality of eggs.

Mr. Donald Thompson

No. The recent, much publicised, problems with egg quality appear to have arisen mainly because of poor stock control at certain retail outlets.
