HC Deb 11 July 1934 vol 292 c312
9. Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether in all British overseas territories steps are taken to prohibit entirely Japanese imports when it is discovered that such imports are bearing forged trade marks purporting to represent British manufacture?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

Most parts of the Colonial Empire have legislation similar to that in force in this country with regard to false trade descriptions, and where such legislation does not exist or is in unsatisfactory form I am endeavouring to secure the enactment of legislation to bring it into line with United Kingdom practice. It is normally provided that goods to which false trade descriptions have been applied shall be subject to forfeiture.
