HC Deb 07 February 1968 vol 758 c124W
110. Mr. Mapp

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to prohibit the imprinting with the slogan ' I'm Backing Britain,' by firms in Great Britain of shirts imported from Portugal and subsequently marketed in this country and abroad.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu:

It is an offence under the Merchandise Marks Acts to apply any statement or mark to goods so as to amount to a false or misleading indication of their origin. It is a matter for the courts to decide in any particular case whether such an offence has been committed.
