§ Mr. WOLFFasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any official information showing that Russia is preparing a law for the complete establishment of metric weights and measures in that empire; that China has decided to permit no weights and measures on her railways except the metric system; and that Siam is preparing regulations for completing metric reform in that country; and, if so, whether, in view of next year's Imperial Conference, he will make any statement or lay papers on the subject?
§ Sir E. GREYI have no information to the effect stated in the question; and I cannot, therefore, undertake to adopt the course suggested by the hon. Member.
