Colonel Sandeman Allenasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the rapid deterioration of conditions in the cotton industry, he is yet in a position to undertake to introduce a Bill to enable the industry to reorganise itself to meet foreign competition in the export markets?
Mr. StanleyI can add nothing at present to the reply which I gave on 22nd March to my hon. Friend, the Member for Bury (Mr. Chorlton).
§ Mr. Lees-Jonesasked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to prevent foreign-made textile goods, which have been imported into this country for finishing and/or other processes, from being exported from this country stamped with a statement wrongfully indicating that they have been made in England?
Mr. StanleyIf my hon. Friend will furnish me with particulars of cases where such marking is being applied, I will consider whether action can be taken under the Merchandise Marks Act, 1887.
