§ Mr. Maginnisasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what represe-sentations he has received from the Ulster 274W conclude that the Northern Ireland Egg Subsidy Scheme will save 1,200 jobs.
§ Mr. Peter MillsThe number of hatching eggs being put down in early 1972 indicated that there was likely to be a drop of approximately 30 per cent. in egg production in Northern Ireland in the latter part of the year. As a result, about 2,000 people (producers, packers, transport workers, feed mill employees, etc.) would have lost their jobs. It is expected that the help being given under the Employment in Agriculture Scheme will reduce this figure to 800.
