§ Mr. GROVESasked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the large and continuing increase in the installation of petrol pumps throughout the country, he will introduce legislation conferring upon local authorities the necessary powers for testing such petrol pumps within their areas?
§ Sir B. CHADWICKI have been asked to reply. The Weights and Measures (Amendment) Bill, which was read a first time on the 25th November and is printed, contains provisions' which, if enacted, will enable the Board of Trade to make regulations to effect what the hon. Member desires. I fear that time will not permit of the Bill being proceeded with during this Session, but in that event I hope to re-introduce it early next year.
