§ 35. Sir WILLIAM WAYLANDasked the Minister of Agriculture the total number of prosecutions for infringements of the Butter Marking Order made under the Merchandise Marks Act, 1926, since its inception; and if not, whether he will arrange for the keeping of a record of future prosecutions
§ Mr. ELLIOTNo record is available of the total number of prosecutions for infringement of the Butter Marking and other similar Orders which various local authorities are empowered to enforce, and I have no power to call for a return.
§ Sir W. WAYLANDWill the Minister seriously consider the withdrawal of Recommendation (e) of the Butter Marking Committee as it has left the door wide open to fraud upon the public?
§ Mr. ELLIOTI should require notice of that question.
