HC Deb 22 January 1913 vol 47 c420
81. Sir JOHN SPEAR

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the general desire amongst traders for a uniform system of weights and measures; and if he will ascertain the best system and take steps to bring it into use?

Mr. BUXTON

I am afraid I can add nothing to the reply to a question on the same subject given by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade to the hon. Member for the Oswestry Division of Shropshire on 5th December last, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
