§ Lieut.-Colonel Bromley - Davenportasked the President of the Board of Trade what possibility there is of early implementation being given to the recommendations in the recent report of the Weights and Measures Legislation Committee suggesting penalties for the fraudulent damping of solid fuel.
Mr. P. ThorneyeroftThis is one of the Committee's proposals on which consultations are now taking place. I cannot at present forecast what my decision will be on this point; and, as I explained in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for the Cities of London and Westminster (Sir H. Webbe) on 11th November, 1952, I cannot propose any legislation on weights and measures for some time.
