HC Deb 24 July 1959 vol 609 c173W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many English produced eggs were sold in this country last year; and what proportion of this figure is that for eggs imported.

Mr. John Hare

Complete information on the sales of eggs is not available but it is estimated that the consumption of home-produced eggs in the United Kingdom in 1958 amounted to just under 1,000 million dozen. Imported eggs were 1½ per cent. of this figure.
