HC Deb 16 October 1946 vol 427 c198W
83. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Food if he has now reached a decision to allow farmers to sell their eggs through their co-operative packing stations; and if arrangements will be made to reimburse those who have suffered loss through the operation of the zoning scheme.

Dr. Summerskill

Changes in the egg collection scheme which are now under consideration include provision for producers to register with any packing station they please. I cannot yet say when the changes will take effect. As regards the second part of the Question, I can see no possibility of reimbursement.
