§ Mr. LARDNERasked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland), whether he is aware of the complaint of provision dealers in Great Britain of the high percentage of breakages in eggs shipped from Ireland; whether matters have reached such a pass this year that the egg trade of Ireland is seriously imperilled; whether he will state if there are more cases of damaged eggs from breakages in transit of eggs from Ireland 1812W than from Russia, Denmark, or Egypt; and whether he will instruct the officers of the Department to approach the railway and shipping companies with a view to causing more careful handling in future?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI would refer the hon. Member to the answer given yesterday to a similar question of the hon. Member for South Wexford.
