HC Deb 27 November 1967 vol 755 c34W
Mr. Lomas

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will use his powers under the Weights and Measures Act, 1963, to add other commodities to the many classes of goods which the Act requires to be sold only in specified quantities or to be prepacked only if the container is marked with a quantity marking.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

As regards fixed quantities for detergents and soap powders, I would refer my hon. Friend to the Answer given on 25th October to the hon. Member for Hampstead (Mr. Whitaker). I am considering whether it would be desirable to propose the addition of other commodities to the list.—[Vol. 751, c. 500–1.]
