Mr. J. Enoch Powellasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, for the purposes of the Trade Descriptions Acts, he considers "Made in Britain" to mean made in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. ChannonThe courts alone could decide whether any particular use of the expression "Made in Britain" was compatible with the requirements of the Trade Descriptions Acts 1968–72. But our non-statutory guidance for traders on the Origin Marking Order 1981, which was made under sections 8 and 9 of the 1968 Act suggests that the expression may be applied to goods made either in Great Britain or in Northern Ireland.
