§ MR. LEES KNOWLES (Salford, W.)I beg to ask Mr. Solicitor General, in view of the number of engravers and designers who produce, and tradesmen who, for loyalty or ornament, display the Royal Arms on shop fronts, trade labels, paper bags, and in other ways, without words implying that they make such assumption by authority, whether steps can be taken by legislation or otherwise to make it clear that such persons are free from liability.
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL (Sir EDWARD CARSON,) Dublin UniversityAny person using the Royal Arms without authority in connection with his business is liable to penalties if he so uses them as to lead the public to believe that he is carrying on his business by, or under the authority of, His Majesty, any of the Royal Family, or any Government Department. Whether the Royal Arms are so used in any particular case is a question of fact to be determined if proceedings are taken. I see no necessity for any alteration in the law.
