Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent discussions she has had with egg producers on the price of chicken eggs.

Defra officials meet regularly with the British Egg Industry Council, the National Farmers' Union, and the British Free Range Egg Producers' Association.

I recently hosted an egg industry roundtable with representatives from across the UK egg supply chain, to consider the challenges currently facing the industry.
