§ Mr. Cohn Shepherdasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is satisfied with the law relating to the criteria manufactured foods have to fulfil before they can be correctly labelled "Made in Britain"; and if he will make a statement.

I have no plans to change this rule, which provides a generally satisfactory basis for the determination of origin.
