HC Deb 19 December 1960 vol 632 cc106-7W
72. Mr. Prior

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what discussions he has had with the Egg Marketing Board regarding a future surplus of eggs.

Mr. Soames

Discussions have taken place recently between my Department and the producers' representatives. They have been told that it would be contrary to the Government's policy to encourage the production of eggs to a point where an annual surplus develops.
