§ Mr. REMERasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the fact that German manufacturers are offering for sale stockings at 1s. per pair as pure silk and 1496W artificial silk; whether he is aware that, upon being chemically tested by the Silk Association, these stockings were found to be mercerised cotton; and whether, under the circumstances, he will take steps to prevent fraudulent description of goods by importers?
§ Lieut.-Colonel BUCKLEYThe facts mentioned in the question had not previously been brought to my notice, but if my hon. Friend will send me full particulars I shall be glad to consider what action can be taken.
