Yes there are one or two "totally" protected labels but there are more labels that provide far more than the basic information you mention Chas.

Much of it is probably voluntary admittedly. In the realm of clothing there is no doubt that kilts and kilt related products that are actually made in Scotland (however the materials are sourced) proudly proclaim that fact even though they may not be required to do so. Indeed those products produced by Gold Bros owned companies like Morrison Kilts are proud to do so then.

It is where the waters get considerably "muddied" that require the legislation. If a kilt or sporran is made in Pakistan it should say so on the label at the point of sale. If someone is still then attracted by the price or the quality they will then be making an informed decision.

Despite challenges made via Heather, it is clear that these changes will not be made voluntarily by GB.
