HC Deb 01 March 1968 vol 759 c441W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will take steps to require that either eggs or their boxes should be stamped with the date when the eggs were laid.

Mr. Hoy

No. My right hon. Friend is satisfied that for eggs as for other perishable foods the balance of advantage is against compulsory date stamping.
