HC Deb 28 January 1981 vol 997 c468W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many cases of imported French eggs have been turned away by his Department's inspectors over the last 12 months through being incorrectly marked.

Mr. Peter Walker

In the 12 months to December 1980, importers returned 4,144 boxes to the countries of origin: 2,972 to France and 1,172 to Holland. Samples from these consignments had been found by the inspectors to be below the quality standards laid down in the European Community regulations and marked on the boxes.
