HC Deb 31 July 1923 vol 167 cc1300-1W
Mr. HANNON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he proposes to bring forward the Measuring Instruments Bill in the Autumn Session; and whether he is aware of the strong desire of the markets and fairs committees throughout the country that a Measure similar to that which was introduced by the Government in 1922 should become law without delay?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME

I fear it will not be possible in the Autumn Session to proceed with a Measure of the kind suggested.
