HC Deb 15 May 1933 vol 278 cc17-8
52. Captain STRICKLAND

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is now in a position to give the House further information with regard to the evasion of the Merchandise Marks Act by the importation into this country of foreign-made cartridge cases not conspicuously showing an indication of origin, as laid down in the joint memorandum on that Act issued by the Board of Trade and the Commissioners of Customs and Excise; and what action he proposes to take?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

I am not at present in a position to make any statement on this subject, but I am giving careful consideration to the representations made, and I hope to communicate further with my hon. and gallant Friend at a very early date.
