§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the President of the Board of Trade how many United States eggs are being imported into Great Britain; how many days old they are before reaching the consumer; and what is the cost in foreign exchange of such imports to date.
§ Mr. DarlingImports into the United Kingdom from the United States between 383W January and October, 1965 (5,870 dozen valued at £12,495), consisted of hatching eggs.
I understand from trade sources that some 2,500 boxes of 360 eggs each, for human consumption, are expected this week, and a rather larger quantity next week; I have no information as to the cost, or the age, of these eggs.
