HC Deb 22 February 1944 vol 397 cc656-7
58. Mr. Bartle Bull

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, as a measure of post-war planning he will consider introducing the decimal system in Great Britain so far as money, weights and measures and distance are concerned.

Sir J. Anderson

No, Sir.

Mr. Bull

Why not?

Sir J. Anderson

Because to give an explanation would carry me far beyond the limits of an answer in Parliament.

Mr. Bull

Thank you.
