HC Deb 09 February 1970 vol 795 c271W
Miss Devlin

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is the practice of local weights and measures authorities to notify his Department of an intention to prosecute before or after receiving from the appropriate control authority permission to proceed to court.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Local weights and measures authorities are not required to inform the Board of their practice in this respect, and we have had no reason to invite such information.
