§ Mr. HardyTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) if he will initiate a campaign to encourage companies issuing mail order catalogues to include the country of origin in their descriptions of the products offered for sale;
(2) if he will introduce legislation to require companies publishing and with responsibility for mail order catalogues to include the country of origin in the description of products.
§ Mr. RidleyNo. Such action would not be consistent with our obligations under the treaty of Rome. But catalogue issuers are free to include country of origin information if they wish.
