HC Deb 31 July 1981 vol 9 c609W
Mr. Nicholas Baker

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) whether his Department has received evidence of French and Dutch eggs being sold as British produce within the last two weeks; and what has been his response;

(2) what evidence his Department has received of French and Dutch eggs being sold as British produce within the last two weeks; and what steps he proposes to take on the matter.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The Department has received no evidence in the two weeks to 28 July 1981 that imported eggs are being sold as British. Any such evidence would always be followed up by the Department's egg inspectorate.
