§ Lord APSLEYasked the Minister of Agriculture what steps his Department take to ensure that no cider producers who use imported apples or imported unfermented apple juice infringe the provisions of the Merchandise Marks Act, 1887, in selling their products under county names; and whether he will cause investigation to be made in the matter?
§ Major ELLIOTAs I explained in my recent letter to my Noble Friend, I am advised that it is no offence under the Merchandise Marks Act to describe under their respective county names ciders made in English counties from imported apples or from imported unfermented apple juice.
