HC Deb 01 December 1931 vol 260 cc930-1
18. Mr. DONNER

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what steps are being taken by the Empire Marketing Board to avoid use by foreign interests of the Buy British campaign?

Mr. J. H. THOMAS

The Empire Marketing Board have been careful to refrain from issuing publicity material which might be open to misleading use in respect of particular products, or which might facilitate any evasion of existing legal provisions in regard to the descrip- tion of goods offered for sale. If, however, the hon. Member is aware of any instances of abuse, I should be grateful if he would communicate with me.
