HC Deb 21 April 1953 vol 514 c48W
65. Mr. Grimond

asked the Minister of Food what has been the average price paid to farmers for eggs since control ended.

Dr. Hill

Subject to a minimum of 3s. 6d. a dozen the price paid is a matter for negotiation between producer and packer. Indications are that since 2nd April Scottish producers have been paid between 3s. 6d. and 3s. 9d. per dozen.
