HC Deb 11 April 1949 vol 463 c225W
52. Mr. Joynson-Hicks

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the prices to be paid to producers for eggs is calculated to necessitate the elimination of breeding birds from the flocks of accredited poultry breeders; and what action he proposes to take to counterbalance this tendency.

Mr. T. Williams

No. The introduction of seasonal prices for eggs is more likely to stimulate the demand for reliable stock.
