Mr. Jordan said that it was proposed to expand and develop the
anti-narcotics work of the Preventive Service, of which he is Commissioner,
and its command structure is being strengthened.
The Service, he added, had taken on responsibility for official
action in enforcement of the Copyright Ordinance, and it was intended to
take positive action in the near future against the more flagrant and
damaging cases of copyright malpractice.
He said that the department's Trade Investigation Branch had
shared responsibility with the Police for prosecuting offences against
the Merchandise Marks Ordinance. It had recently been agreed that the
department should relieve the police of this responsibility.
