HC Deb 23 April 1917 vol 92 c2032
49. Sir H. NORMAN

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government are prepared to give consideration in any manner to the question of British and Imperial weights and measures and the decimalisation of British coinage after the War; and, if so, whether he will appoint a small Commmittee, as a Sub-Committee of the Reconstruction Committee or other wise, to consider and report to him upon this question?

Mr. BONAR LAW

This matter falls within the terms of reference to Lord Balfour of Burleigh's Sub-Committee of the Reconstruction Committee on Commercial Policy, and I am informed that this Committee is considering the subject.
