HC Deb 28 February 1967 vol 742 c82W
Mr. Hawkins

asked the Lord President of the Council how many home produced eggs were purchased during the three weeks beginning 30th January, 1967, for use in the Refreshment Department.

Mr. Crossman

None. As I stated in answer to a Question on 20th February, Danish eggs were purchased during this period.—[Vol. 741, c.232–31.]

Mr. Hawkins

asked the Lord President of the Council what quantities of home killed and imported meat, respectively, have been purchased during the months of October, November and December, 1966, and January, 1967, for use in the refreshment department, divided into the following categories, namely, beef, mutton and lamb, pork, and bacon.

Mr. Crossman

Following is the information:

Order before a joint committee of both Houses of Parliament, he was not represented either by the Lord Advocate or by the Solicitor-General for Scotland;

(2) why, in view of the number of Queen's Counsel of the Scottish Bar who are experienced in Parliamentary Bar practice, he instructed Queen's Counsel of the English Bar to represent him at the proceedings relating to the Loch Lomond Water Board Order, when all the other parties to these proceedings were represented by Queen's Counsel from Scotland.

Mr. Ross

The arrangements made were those which the Lord Advocate and I considered the most appropriate for these proceedings, which were unique in Scottish experience.
