HC Deb 10 August 1916 vol 85 cc1230-1
73. Mr. PETO

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he intends to introduce a Bill to amend the Patent Law so as to give further period for working patents the operation of which has been interfered with by the War; and, if so, whether such legislation will be introduced before the Adjournment of the House?

Mr. HARCOURT

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply which I gave him on the 20th of last month. I shall not be in a position to introduce legislation amending the Patents and Designs Act before the Adjournment.
