HC Deb 01 February 1989 vol 146 c312W
Mr. Hood

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations have been made to him by groups or individuals about the effects of salmonella from eggs; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

As at 30 January, my right hon. and learned Friend had received three letters from hon. Members expressing concern about the implications of salmonella from eggs. In addition officials have received one letter from an individual and about 70 telephone inquiries, largely on the cooking implications.
