Vol. 110 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Egg Grading.

asked the Minister for Agriculture whether he will decide, in fairness to producers, that eggs should be purchased and graded by whole-salers and retailers according to the weight rather than the size or shape of the eggs.

I do not consider that the present is an opportune moment to introduce the system of purchasing eggs by weight. In existing circumstances it would not give any advantage to egg producers as a whole. The suggestion, however, will be kept in mind as the poultry scheme which is now in operation develops.
