HC Deb 23 April 1914 vol 61 c1124W
Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

asked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that the Irish egg trade is hampered at the present time by the many losses sustained through breakages which occur in transit; that cases of eggs shipped from the Irish ports contain more breakages than in shipments from foreign countries; and whether, having regard to these facts, he will communicate with the managers of the Irish railways and shipping companies with the view to having this traffic handled with proper care?

Mr. BIRRELL

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the similar question on this subject asked by the hon. Member for South Wexford on the 6th instant.
