HC Deb 01 December 1952 vol 508 c120W
82. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, in view of the substantial reduction in the number of poultry in Scotland, what special measures he proposes for increasing the supply of eggs in Scotland.

Mr. J. Stuart

There has been no substantial reduction in the number of poultry in Scotland. The peak figure was reached in 1950 and the numbers in 1952 are little short of it.
