§ Mr. Pardoeasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he first received a request from the Egg Marketing Board to remove the statutory lion on the egg.
§ Mr. HoyThe lion mark is not a requirement under the egg stamping regulations, which require only the weight grade and packing station number. The first official approach by the Board for the removal of the obligations under the regulations was made in June, 1967, as part of wider proposals for changes in the marketing arrangements for eggs.
