HC Deb 02 July 1985 vol 82 cc92-3W
Mr. Ron Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what recent representations he has received regarding commercial counterfeiting, especially concerning Scotch whisky; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Butcher

Representations are received from time to time about the counterfeiting of various products. So far as Scotch whisky is concerned, representations have been received in relation to the labelling and description of whisky on sale in Japan and Korea. The representations are being pursued both bilaterally and through the EEC Commission.
