HC Deb 06 July 1959 vol 608 cc98-9W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is aware that a letter was recently sent by the Chairman of the Egg Marketing Board to all registered producers which many producers had great difficulty in understanding; and whether he will draw the Board's attention to the need for clarity in its circulars.

Mr. John Hare

I am aware that the Chairman of the British Egg Marketing Board sent a letter to registered egg producers in April and that other circulars are issued by the Board from time to time. Producers can be relied upon to tell the Board if the meaning of these communications is not clear to them. It would be inappropriate for me to tender advice to a producers' marketing board on routine matters of this kind.
