HC Deb 15 December 1936 vol 318 c2297W
Sir W. SMILES

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will allow a hearing under a marking order with regard to foreign sporting cartridge cases imported into this country bearing no indication of origin?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The Merchandise Marks Act, 1926, provides that no reference shall be made to the Standing Committee appointed under the Act unless there has been made to the Board of Trade an application which substantially represents the interests concerned. Up to the present no application which complies with this condition has been received by the Board of Trade.
