HC Deb 14 November 1927 vol 210 cc623-4
58. Sir A. HOLBROOK

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will consider the desirability of requiring the marking, under the Merchandise Marks Act, of imported oats, in order to relieve home growers from unfair competition?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Guinness)

An application for an Order-in-Council under the Merchandise Marks Act, 1926, to require the marking of imported oats has been received and referred to the Standing Committee for inquiry. It is expected that this inquiry will take place before the end of the year.
