HC Deb 20 March 1946 vol 420 c365W
55. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Food if he will amend the egg collecting scheme to allow farmers to consign eggs to the producers' co-operative packing stations which served their areas before zoned collection was enforced.

Dr. Summerskill

My right hon. Friend cannot see his way to make such an amendment at present, since to do so at this, stage would unduly disturb the arrangements which packers have already made to collect eggs from producers during the current "flush" season
