§ 43. Mr. Eadieasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many organisations in Scotland have written to him making representations about the Government's proposals on the marketing of eggs; and what reply he has sent.
§ Mr. RossI have received written representations from the N.F.U. of Scotland and from three hon. Members on behalf of organisations within their constituencies. In my replies I have explained the reasons for our proposals, which are based on the recommendations of the Reorganisation Commission for eggs. The relevant clauses are included in the Agriculture Bill which will be the subject of Second Reading debate tomorrow.
