HC Deb 22 November 1967 vol 754 c340W
41. Mr. Costain

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that consumers in this country wishing to purchase British goods are often unknowingly purchasing imported goods, as the country of origin is not shown in advertisements; and if he will take steps to ensure that all future imported goods display this information.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

No. I do not consider that a general requirement of this kind is needed or would be practicable.
