§ 68. Sir A. Hurdasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, in view of the uncertainty about future egg prices, which is causing farmers to order many fewer day-old chicks this spring, he will state the limits beyond which the egg price guarantee cannot be changed at the coming price review.
§ Mr. GodberAt this Price Review the present guaranteed price for hen eggs of 4s. 0.95d. per dozen cannot be reduced by more than 1.9d., apart from any adjustment in either direction which would follow automatically from the feeding-stuffs formula.
