HC Deb 08 February 1932 vol 261 c477
99. Captain WATT

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that foreign tomato pulp is being sold in the form of various tinned and bottled products under labels which suggest that they are of British origin; and whether he is prepared to take action to stop inferential or actual misdescription?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The Merchandise Marks Act, 1887, contains provisions dealing with the application to goods of false trade descriptions. If my hon. and gallant, Friend will furnish me with particulars of the cases in question, I shall be glad to have the matter investigated.
