HC Deb 03 August 1926 vol 198 c2831W
Mr. GRUNDY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, before any restrictions are imposed under the Merchandise Marks (Imported Goods) Bill, full opportunity will be given for organisations of retailers to be heard, by counsel or otherwise, before the tribunal to be set up under the proposed Act?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

In the Bill, as reported to the House, the committees to be set up thereunder are required to hear persons representing such interests as may appear to them to be substantially affected. It is intended that such persons should be entitled to appear by counsel if they so desire.
