HC Deb 06 February 1908 vol 183 cc1094-5
MR. RAWLINSON

On behalf of the hon. Member for the Hoxton Division, I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether consignments of empty card-, board boxes bearing English wording, and not marked in accordance with the Merchandise Marks Act, 1887, are being regularly imported into this country; and, if so, what action he proposes to take in the matter.

MR. RUNCIMAN

I beg to refer the hon. Member to my Answer to a similar Question by him on 15th July last, to which I have nothing to add except that the Board of Customs are not aware that since that date there have been any importations of empty cardboard boxes bearing English wording and not marked in accordance with the Merchandise Marks Act, 1887.
