HC Deb 28 January 1970 vol 794 c347W
Mr. Lomas

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will introduce legislation to provide that all pre-packed goods be made up in standard British weights.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

To extend in advance of metrication the existing requirements for goods to be packed in specified quantities would place an undue burden on industry without corresponding benefits to the consumer.
