HC Deb 29 July 1862 vol 168 c986
MR. DOULTON

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the Standards of Weight and Measure deposited at the Exchequer in the year 1825 have been used as tests of accuracy from that period up to the present time without being examined, adjusted, or re-verified?

SIR GEORGE GREY

was understood to reply that the Standards had been examined; some adjustment was found necessary, and measures would be taken to have them re-verified.
