HC Deb 09 June 1980 vol 986 cc7-8W
23. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will take steps to ban imports of woollen goods marked "Shetland "from Mauritius.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

No. Imported goods bearing a name or mark generally associated with the United Kingdom must also bear a conspicuous indication of their country of origin when offered for sale. However, Mauritius has undertaken to restrain her exports of jerseys to the United Kingdom.

Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what was the quantity and value of woollen garments marked "Shetland" imported from Mauritius in the last two years.

tion is subject to rigorous scrutiny and considered on its individual merits.
