§ 112. Mr. Osborneasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that his labelling division have objected to the spelling of the word "nett" and insisted on its being spelt "net" for the weight of canned fish, as indicated on the correspondence sent to him; and, for the sake of clarity, if he will permit the original spelling to be used.
Mr. H. WilsonI understand that the local authority weights and measures office mentioned in the correspondence forwarded by the hon. Member is now acting upon the advice issued by my Department last November and is not objecting to the spelling "nett" on labels for pre-packed foods.
