HC Deb 07 February 1951 vol 483 c209W
70. Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Food how the incidence of fowl pest will affect the egg ration; and whether eggs will again be taken off the ration this year during the season when they are most plentiful.

Mr. Webb

On the first part of the Question I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture gave on 31st January to the hon. Member for Morecambe and Lonsdale (Sir I. Fraser). I hope to be able to take eggs off the ration during the spring, but it is too soon yet to be sure.
