§ 7. Mr. Viggersasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he is now satisfied with action taken by foreign Governments to prevent counterfeiting of United Kingdom products.
§ Mr. ParkinsonWe work hard to ensure that foreign authorities are aware of the danger to all concerned that counterfeiting represents, we urge those authorities to afford British companies the greatest possible protection for their patents and trade marks, and we back up British companies in pursuing cases where patents and trade marks are infringed. I believe that these efforts are having some effect; but I shall not be satisfied until the practice has been brought effectively under control.
