Objects and Reasons.
1. The purpose of this amending Bill, which is introduced at the direction of the Secretary of State, is to incorporate into the principal Ordinance the provisions of the Merchandise Marks Act, 1911 (1 and 2 Geo. 5, c. 31).
2. Additional power is given accordingly to the Super- intendent of Imports and Exports, if he is satisfied that import- ed goods which bear a mark purporting to be that of a manu- facturer, etc., in the United Kingdom have been fraudulently marked, to require full information of the importer. If the information required is not forthcoming within 14 days, the importer renders himself liable to a heavy fine.
Furthermore, the Superintendent of Imports and Exports is empowered to communicate any information which he ac- quires to any person whose name or trade mark is alleged to have been fraudulently used or infringed in connection with such goods.
