HC Deb 31 March 1947 vol 435 c258W
Mr. Janner

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps are taken to ensure that the spring balances used by Breton onion sellers are examined by the Inspectors of Weights and Measures.

Sir S. Cripps

Like other weighing instruments used for trade, spring balances used by Breton onion sellers must be verified and stamped by an inspector of weights and measures. It is the responsibility of local inspectors to make the necessary arrangements for this purpose.
