HC Deb 18 October 1916 vol 86 c575W
Mr. BIRD

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that a firm of British manufacturers of margarine have recently been threatened with prosecution by Government officials because they put in their packages a printed slip notifying that their margarine was British made, after they had been forbidden by a Government Department to print the words "British made" on the statutory wrapper; and, if so, will he give the reason for such action?

Mr. ACLAND

Similar questions were asked yesterday by the hon. Members for Wigan and the Mid-Leicestershire Division. I beg leave to refer my hon. Friend to the answer then given.
