HC Deb 07 May 1874 vol 218 cc1839-40
MR. SAMPSON LLOYD

asked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to legislate during this Session on the whole Law of Weights and Measures; and, whether it is prepared to remove all obstacles to the use of Metric Weights and Measures?

SIR CHARLES ADDERLEY

I hope, Sir, that the Judge Advocate, who was one of the Royal Commissioners appointed to inquire into this subject, will be able to introduce a Bill for the verification of the standards this Session, but not dealing with the use of the metric system.
