§ Mr. PIKEasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that, under the supervision of the Australian Victoria Government a large industry for the manufacture of frozen eggs and egg pulp was established in Melbourne in 1931; 1716W that it successfully established its commodities upon the English market against its Chinese competitors; that it has been compelled to cease production owing to the dumping of the Chinese product at prices below British production costs; and whether he will cause inquiry to be made with a view to restoring the British home market to the British producer throughout the Empire?
Mr. THOMASI have been asked to reply. I have no information regarding the Melbourne factory to which the hon. Member refers. The question of the importation of eggs, including liquid eggs, into this country is at present receiving earnest consideration.
