HC Deb 21 February 1929 vol 225 c1302
70. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Postmaster-General whether weights and scales in post offices are subjected to tests by officials of his Department; and, if so, at what intervals?

Captain BOWYER

Weights and scales which are the property of the Post Office are tested by officers of the Department twice a year at head and branch post offices and one a year at sub-offices. Additional tests are made at any time if there is reason to think that the weights or scales are inaccurate.
