HC Deb 30 March 1917 vol 92 c770W
Sir H. NORMAN

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the commercial and educational advantages of the metric system of weights and measures and a decimal system of coinage, he will take preparatory steps to enable this reform to be adopted in the United Kingdom after the War, availing himself of the presence of the Dominion representatives to secure an Imperial agreement on the subject?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is not likely that it will be possible for the Imperial War Conference to consider this question.
