HC Deb 08 August 1884 vol 292 cc269-70
MR. MOORE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he will cause inquiry to be made as to any legislation which has been passed with regard to the sale of oleomargarine and butterine in the United States, Holland, and other Countries, and lay the result of his inquiries before the House?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Subjects connected with the sale of these commodities are dealt with by other Departments of Her Majesty's Government, principally by the Agricultural Department and the Board of Trade. If it appears to them that the information already possessed is insufficient, Lord Granville will be very happy to obtain further Reports.
