The British Egg Marketing Board was set up in 1957 to buy all eggs produced in the UK, grade them to a national standard, stamp a "Little Lion" on the egg as a mark of quality, and market those eggs through registered packhouses.

Strange how the same Article states :

� The Egg Marketing Board, which was set up in December 1956 ........�

Did they start stamping the Red Lion in December 1956 or in 1957 !!!
