HC Deb 13 December 1906 vol 167 c643
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)

To ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that tobacco manufactured in England is extensively sold in Ireland under the designation Irish roll; and whether, seeing that the term is calculated to deceive intending purchasers, some steps will be taken to confine the term to goods only made in Ireland.

(Answered by Mr. Kearley.) The attention of the Board of Trade has not been called to the practice referred to by my hon. friend; but, if he will place before me any information in his possession on the subject, I will see that the matter is carefully considered.
