I have been asked to reply. The necessary information is not available to enable a weighted average price of eggs in general to be calculated. It is estimated, however, that the weighted average price of English National Mark Standard eggs during 1937 was 1s. 5¾d. per dozen, compared with an unweighted average of 1s. 7d. per dozen.
