HC Deb 23 May 1980 vol 985 c405W
Mr. Nicholas Baker

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will investigate allegations that eggs are being imported into the United Kingdom, re-packed and sold as English; and if he will cause urgent investigations to be made about the matter.

Mr. Peter Walker

The present arrangements for the grading, packaging and labelling of eggs traded in member States of the Community are laid down in the EEC marketing regulations. If my hon. Friend has information which suggests that imported eggs are not complying with the regulations, I should be grateful if he would send it to me.
