With your permission, Sir, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the information requested by the Deputy in so far as it is available. The units of quantity under which eggs are brought to account in the Official Import List are "great hundred" in respect of eggs in shell and "cwt." in respect of eggs not in shell, whilst neither the Official Import nor Export List separately distinguishes frozen eggs.
Following is the statement:
