HC Deb 29 May 1968 vol 765 cc216-7W
53. Mr. Lawson

asked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent he has exercised his powers under the Weights and Measures Regulations for the control of equipment employed in the bulk delivery of home-heat oils and petrol by the oil companies to the petrol stations; and what plans he has to amend the regulations in order to ensure better control over and accuracy of such equipment.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

No Regulations exist at present for controlling instruments of this type. We have already expressed our intention to frame proposals for regulations as soon as practicable and an examination of the technical problems of enforcement is proceeding.
