§ 12. Mr. Rentonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that in Statutory Instruments issued during recent months by his Department and in the schedules and related schedules appended thereto, descriptive names are used in relation to goods which do not correspond and are not intended by his Department to correspond with the description; and what steps he is taking to ensure that the practice of his Department correspondents with the provisions of the Merchandise Marks Act, 1887.
§ Sir H. ShawcrossIn preparing the schedules and related schedules care is taken that descriptive names do not conflict with trade usage: only the courts can decide authoritatively what corresponds with the provision of the Merchandise Marks Act, but I am not aware of any instance where they have been asked to adjudicate on any case involving the use of one of the descriptive names used in the Orders.
