1-3. A NEW regulation by the Egg NEW Board means that eggs hitherto carried under C licence will now have to be transported in B-licence vehicles. This was pointed out at St. Annes-on-Sea, last week, when Mr. B. N. Jackson, Caton, near Lancaster, asked for a B licence to replace his existing C licence.
He said that in the past he called on hundreds of farmers buying their eggs to sell them to packing stations. Now he was no longer allowed to pay for the eggs —they all had to be paid for by the packing stations, so he was merely a carrier.
Mr. D. Regan. general manager of Eylde Farmers' Eggs Supplies and Lancaster Egg Packers, said in evidence that packing stations now either collected the eggs themselves or paid a collector.
The application was granted.
