HC Deb 29 June 1964 vol 697 c151W
77. Mr. Lipton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give a direction in the public interest to the Egg Marketing Board, under Section 20 of the Agricultural Marketing Act, 1958, to reverse its rejection of the application of the Western Egg Pasteurising Company Limited of Helston, Cornwall, to be one of the firms selected by the Board to buy and process second quality eggs, in view of the fact that the Board rejected the company's application before inspecting the company's plant.

Mr. Soames

No. The company's complaint has been considered by the Committee of Investigation and it has advised that there are no grounds for the complaint that the Board acted unreasonably in refusing to supply it with second quality eggs.
