§ Mr. HUNTasked the President whether he is aware that German manufacturers, in recommending their goods to merchants in this country, state that it is not necessary to have their goods marked made in Germany; and whether he will cause inquiries to be made and put a stop to any practices of this kind?
§ Mr. TENNANTI have no official information as to the practice referred to in the question. If the hon. Member will supply me with information as to specific cases the Board of Trade will be in a position to consider whether the alleged statements do or do not suggest an evasion of the Merchandise Marks Act. No doubt the hon. Member is aware that the Act does not require imported goods in all cases to be marked with their country of origin.
