HC Deb 07 May 1958 vol 587 c110W
Mr. M. K. MacMillan

asked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent, under his regulations, tweed other than that entitled to the Orb Mark can be described as Harris Tweed.

Mr. Erroll

Tweed marked with the Orb Mark and the words "Harris Tweed" is unmistakably Harris Tweed; whether anything else is Harris Tweed or not is a matter for the courts. My own opinion would be, however, that tweed produced in, say, England could not legitimately be described as Harris Tweed.
