HC Deb 04 March 1930 vol 236 c238
34. Mr. PYBUS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the provisions for marking imported articles as of foreign origin are being evaded by certain importers in that the notification is printed in such small type and in such obscure places as to give the impression that the articles are of British make; and is he aware that this practice is not confined to fragile articles or those whose artistic appearance would suffer from a legible inscription; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

If the hon. Member will furnish me with particulars of any such cases, I shall be happy to investigate them.

Mr. PYBUS

Arising out of that answer—[HON. MEMBERS: "Sit down!"]—may I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he is aware how pleased the whole House is to see him back again?
