HC Deb 18 July 1967 vol 750 cc236-7W
Mr. Michael Heseltine

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, under revision of the Egg Marketing Scheme, he will seek to give the Board fuller powers to control domestic supplies; whether he is satisfied with the falling share of the domestic market beyond by home producers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peart

I am discussing with the Farmers' Unions and the British Egg Marketing Board the problems which have arisen on the marketing of eggs, but I am not yet in a position to make a statement.
