§ 53. Mr. Beswickasked the Minister of Agriculture how many shell egg rations are now returned in exchange for the balancer meal ration; and how many he estimates could be returned if the balancer meal ration was increased by 50 per cent.
§ Sir T. Dugdale3¼ million shell egg registrations were returned by domestic poultry keepers in April, 1951, which is the last date for which figures are available. I cannot estimate the consequences of any change in the amount of the balancer meal ration.
