HC Deb 11 February 1867 vol 185 cc213-4
LORD EUSTACE CECIL

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce a measure for the more effectual discovery and punishment of persons using false weights and measures, in order that a practice disgraceful to the trading community, and especially prejudicial to the interests of the poorer classes may be put a stop to?

MR. WALPOLE

I have to inform my noble Friend that it is the intention of the Government to introduce a measure on the subject.
