HC Deb 23 January 1989 vol 145 cc369-70W
51. Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has any plans to ship eggs to Eritrea, the Sudan and other countries with a food supply problem; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Chris Patten

I have no such plans. Eggs and egg products are not suitable for general distribution as food aid. They can only be used under very strict control.
