HC Deb 27 March 1973 vol 853 c294W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to which EEC countries exports of eggs from the United Kingdom are not permitted.

Mrs. Fenner

No commercial restrictions on trade in eggs are permitted between member countries of the Community. We understand that French public health regulations prevent the import of eggs from countries which do not prohibit the use of certain substances in the feeding and rearing of poultry. We are not aware of any other regulations among Community countries which might affect trade in United Kingdom eggs.
