HC Deb 27 November 1933 vol 283 c489
47. Mr. MITCHESON

asked the President of the Board of Trade if it is proposed to introduce a Bill to amend the Weights and Measures Act in order to regulate the conditions under which sand and ballast are sold; and if he can indicate when the Bill is likely to be introduced?

Dr. BURGIN

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for Farnham (Sir A. M. Samuel) on 14th November, to which I am not at present in a position to add.

Mr. MITCHESON

Can my hon. Friend state whether sympathetic consideration will be given to legislation?

Dr. BURGIN

Sympathetic consideration is being given to this proposal.
