HC Deb 15 December 1980 vol 996 c16W
17. Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will amend the draft order regarding origin marking so that the responsibility for correct indication of place of manufacture becomes the responsibility of the importer or manufacturer rather than the retailer.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

The order published on 12 December, which has been amended to take account of practical points raised by the retail trade, will require United Kingdom manufacturers and importers to provide origin information in writing, if they supply goods to retailers unmarked after 1 January 1982.
