HC Deb 14 December 1922 vol 159 cc3162-3W
Major CADOGAN

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps are taken to prevent foreign eggs being sold as English eggs, either alone or mixed with those produced in England?

Viscount WOLMER

Under the Sale of Food Order, 1921, which remains in force under the Expiring Laws Act, 1922, no imported eggs may be sold as "fresh" or "new laid" unless the description also includes the word "imported" or words disclosing the country of origin.
