§ Sir J. Mellorasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food his reasons for assuming that a local addition to maximum prices for eggs in scheduled industrial areas would not be as successful and practicable, for the purpose of attracting consignments from areas of relative plenty, as this method has already proved in the case of rabbits?
