§ Colonel Carverasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will make a statement on the distribution of dried eggs; and whether the consumer can be compelled to accept them instead of the fresh article?
Major Lloyd GeorgeAt the present time the distribution of dried eggs to the general public is not controlled. An understanding has been reached with the distributors of all egg products that they will distribute supplies equitably to their regular customers in the confectionery and manufacturing trades. In reply to the last part of the Question there is no obligation upon any customer to accept dried eggs.
