§ 54. Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenportasked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the greatly increased egg production in this country, he will take steps during the current year to limit the importation of foreign eggs.
Dr. HillWhile home egg production and sales have been rising, the sales of imported eggs have been falling and it is unlikely that there will be any significant change in imported supplies this year. The home producer is in any case protected by the guarantees given by the Agriculture Act, 1947.
