HC Deb 18 July 1957 vol 573 c137W
73. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on what grounds he will allow or disallow licences for the export of eggs to the Continent; and whether the Government subsidy will be forfeit on such eggs as are exported in the future.

Mr. Godber

The general intention is to grant licences freely except to countries which are normal Danish or Dutch export markets. The export to these countries of eggs which have benefited from the subsidy on home production will not be allowed, but licences will be issued for hatching and other unsubsidised eggs. There will be no recovery of subsidy on any eggs licensed for export. I hope the detailed arrangements will be announced by the end of the month.
