HC Deb 26 April 1927 vol 205 c677W
Colonel DAY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has received an application from the joint industrial council, representing manufacturers and operatives in the boot and shoe industry, asking him to consider bringing this industry within the scope of the Merchandise Marks Act, so that all imported boots and shoes, except those from the British Colonies, should be stamped "Of Foreign Manufacture"; and what action his Department proposes to take in the matter?

Sir B. CHADWICK

An application for the making of an Order under Section 2 of the Merchandise Marks Act, 1926, has been made by the Joint Industrial Council in question, and is being considered.
