HC Deb 07 June 1932 vol 266 cc1758-9
6. Mr. COCKS (for Mr. CHARLES BROWN)

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the management of a foreign factory at Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, is importing in a semi-manufactured condition silk and artificial silk hosiery, which is afterwards sold in shops in London and elsewhere with the claim that their factory is at Mansfield, Nottinghamshire; and if he will inquire into the matter and take steps to stop goods being sold under such a misleading description?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

If the hon. Member will furnish me with particulars of the case he has in mind I will cause inquiries to be made.
