§ Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what was the total number of eggs imported from America during the past two months; and how many of these were found to be unfit for human consumption?
Major Lloyd GeorgeIt could not be in the public interest to disclose the quantity of any foodstuff imported into this country at the present time. I can, however, assure my hon. Friend that the percentage of eggs from America found to be unfit for human consumption is not greater than 5 per cent. of the imports.
