HC Deb 13 February 1873 vol 214 cc375-6
LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

asked the President of the Board of Trade, If it is his intention to introduce a Bill this Session relating to Weights and Measures?

MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE,

in reply, said, he thought it was rather early in the Session to say whether he would introduce such a Bill; but there were so many subjects of more pressing importance now before his Department that he was not sanguine about being able to bring it in.
