§ MR. WILLIAM ALLENI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether it has been brought to his notice that certain Inspectors of weights and measures refuse to recognise the legality of the Staffordshire Inspector's stamp; and whether he will take steps to secure the recognition of the County Inspector's stamp?
§ MR. MUNDELLAI am aware that certain Inspectors of weights and measures (who are appointed by Local Authorities and not by the Board of Trade) have refused to recognise the legality of the Staffordshire stamp on earthenware measures; and I have called the attention of the authorities who appoint these Inspectors to the provisions of the existing law, which permit the use in any part of the United Kingdom of any weight or measure duly stamped by any Inspector.
