HC Deb 07 August 1912 vol 41 c3150
19. Mr. ROYDS

asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether his attention has been called to the fact that inferior peas are being sold as marrowfats, to the great detriment of Lincolnshire growers; and whether, in view of the provisions of the Merchandise Marks Act, he will say whether he proposes to take any and, if any, what action in the matter?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

My attention has been called to this subject, and inquiries are being made with a view to ascertain whether there is sufficient evidence to justify the institution of legal proceedings.
