HC Deb 14 February 1895 vol 30 cc730-1
SIR W. HART DYKE (Kent, Dartford)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture if he will lay upon the Table of the House a Copy of any Instructions that have been issued with a view to check the importation of foreign fruit marked fraudulently as English fruit?

*SIR J. T. HIBBERT

said, that so far as the Board of Customs was concerned no special instructions had been issued regarding the importation of foreign fruit, but such importations were subject to the general instructions issued in connection with the prohibitory sections of the Merchandise Marks Act of 1887.
