§ MR. OCTAVIUS V. MORGANI beg to ask the President of the Board of 1337 Trade what colonies and other possessions have adopted the Trade Marks Protection Act, and what colonies propose to introduce legislation in the same direction?
§ SIR M. HICKS BEACHThe list of colonies and other possessions which have legislated, or proposed to legislate, in the direction indicated is a somewhat long one to read to the House, but I will send a copy to the hon. Member. India and 29 colonies have legislated; in seven others legislation is proposed. Cyprus has rejected it, and we have no answer from New South Wales.
§ MR. MUNDELLA (Sheffield, Brightside)Will the right hon. Gentleman say what colonies have not adopted it?
§ SIR M. HICKS BEACHCyprus is the only one which has rejected it. We have had no answer from New South Wales. I believe that they are the only two colonies which have not adopted it, or taken steps in that direction.
