HC Deb 17 May 1888 vol 326 c557
MR. MACLURE (Lancashire, S.E., Stretford)

asked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether he is aware that since the passing of the Margarine Act thousands of packages of margarine have been shipped through the Port of Hull branded as margarine, Dutch make, but that during the last four days such consignments have been seized, the only grounds given being that it should have been marked "Dutch made," not "Dutch make?"

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)

(who replied) said: I am informed that the goods in question have been released, with a caution to the importers. It is right to state that, in addition to the words "Dutch make" the packages were labelled with English words, such as "the best."
