Clear origin

1a. British government had better have a proper punishment for shops that sell fake items and items which do not have clear origin.

1b. British government should have an appropriate penalty for shops that sell forgeries and items which do not have clear origin.

Do these sentences sound grammatical and ok to say?

Thank you very much, Teachers

The first sentence is too awkward. Use this as a formal statement: The British government should legislate/institute an appropriate penalty for shops that sell forgeries and items without a confirmed/certified origin.
