HC Deb 09 March 1964 vol 691 c15W
68. Sir J. Barlow

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when the progeny testing stations operated by his Department under the Poultry Stock Improvement Plan will be taken over by the British Egg Marketing Board.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

Discussions are taking place with the British Egg Marketing Board with a view to transferring the poultry testing stations to it at an early date. One of the four, which the Board has decided it will not need, was sold last November.
