HC Deb 24 June 1931 vol 254 c434
36. Mr. MARJORIBANKS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any steps or proceedings are being taken with a view to the marking of foreign doors and joinery with an indication of origin under the Merchandise Marks Act?

Mr. W. R. SMITH

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to his question on the 16th April. No application for the marking of imported doors and joinery has been received by the Board of Trade.

Mr. MARJORIBANKS

Will the hon. Member ask his right hon. Friend to be prepared for an application in the near future, very heavily backed by the trade?

Mr. SMITH

The Board of Trade is always prepared.

Mr. MARJORIBANKS

But will always be prejudiced.
