§ Mr. REMERasked the Minister of Agriculture if his attention has been called to certain packets of butter, bearing the name of a Somerset firm on the wrapper, which are being sold in large quantities in this country; if he is aware that this butter is, in fact, Argentine butter and merely blended in this country; and what action he intends to take to ensure that purchasers of such butter shall know that they are buying foreign butter blended in England?
§ Dr. ADDISONI am not in possession of details of the particular case referred to, but an inquiry has recently been held into an application by various butter interests for an Order in Council under the Merchandise Marks Act, 1926, to require the marking of all imported butter with584W an indication of origin, and I am now awaiting the Standing Committee's report on this application.
