HC Deb 13 March 1922 vol 151 cc1800-1W
Sir R. BLADES

asked the President of the Board of Trade if there is to-day no official means of checking the measurement of leather sold on a superficial area basis, and that accordingly buyers of leather have no redress for under-measurement other than a civil action; and whether the Government will consider the advisability of setting up an official centre for checking measurements of superficial area?

Mr. BALDWIN

I would call the attention of my hon. and gallant Friend to the Weights and Measures (Leather Measurement) Act, 1919, a copy of which, together with the Regulations made thereunder, I am sending him.
