HC Deb 10 November 1970 vol 806 c110W
108. Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if, in reaching a decision on the introduction of metrication to money, length, capacity and weight, he will take into account the fact that many publishers have printed, and schools have purchased, books with examples and exercises in capacity and weight using the metric system; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ridley

We will bear this point in mind.
