1. PROPOSED EGG CONTROL SCHEME. At the request of the Chairman THE MINISTER OF FOOD outlined his proposals for the control and rationing of eggs. The main object of the scheme was to remedy the serious shortage of eggs in the towns which was the principle source of queues. Consumers would be required to register and it would be for the Ministry of Food to direct the eggs along the distribution channels. There was no difficulty about doing this in the case of imported eggs but home produced eggs presented a much more difficult problem.
