§ Mr. HANNONasked the Minister of Agriculture if he has received a copy of the resolution passed on 20th February by the National Farmers' Union on the unfair competition of ungraded eggs and declaring that such competition was a check to the progress of the national mark egg scheme; and if he proposes to take any action in the matter?
§ Mr. N. BUXTONI have seen a copy of the resolution referred to which, as a first step, has, I understand, been referred by the National Farmers' Union to its county branches for consideration. 57W The general question raised by the resolution has also been referred by my Department to the other organisations concerned in the egg trade. The views of all these bodies will in due course be placed before the Poultry Advisory Committee, from whom I shall doubtless receive a recommendation.
