HC Deb 08 July 1971 vol 820 c426W
16. Mr. John Hall

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether the Schools' Council have informed her that examination papers set in 1974 and thereafter will be based on the present form of metric system or on system international units.

Mrs. Thatcher

I undertand from the Schools Council that the secondary schools examining boards are moving towards the use of the Système International but the timing of this will vary from board to board and from subject to subject.
