HC Deb 06 March 1968 vol 760 c99W
85. Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will seek powers to provide conversion tables to assist housewives in determining the weight of detergent in the various packages produced by detergent manufacturers; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

No. Pre-packed detergents, where the contents exceed 1 oz., are already required to be marked with the weight under Schedule 7 of the Weights and Measures Act, 1963. I see no need for conversion tables.
