HC Deb 14 June 1948 vol 452 c4W
59. Mr. Hardy

asked the Minister of Food why eggs are graded A, B and C; and what are the retail charges, minimum and maximum.

Dr. Summerskill

Home-produced eggs are graded A, B or C according to weight so that each grade can be packed in containers of appropriate size, thus reducing the risk of breakage. There is no minimum retail price for eggs. The maximum retail price of all these grades is 3s. a dozen.
