§ 60. Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is proposed to take any action on the request of the Drapers' Chamber of Trade that the Marking of Imported Goods Act, 1926, should be repealed; and if he will state what goods are imported into this country, apart from parts of the Empire, without an indication of the country of origin?
§ Dr. BURGINThe answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative. As regards the second part of the Question, I am sending the hon. Member a list of the classes of imported goods in regard to which Orders-in-Council have been made under the Merchandise Marks Act, 1926. Under Section 1 of that Act imported goods are also required to bear an indication of origin in cases in which they already bear a name or trade mark implying United Kingdom origin.
