§ Mr. Ormeasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will take steps to make the use of over-sized marked half-pint and pint beer glasses mandatory in public houses so as to enable landlords to secure full measure and to obviate the use of overspill.
§ Mr. RidleyNo. Licensees are at liberty to use over-sized marked beer glasses if they and their customers prefer them, but I would be very loath to introduce any compulsion.
§ Mr. Ormeasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many prosecutions there have been to date for selling beer in short measure under the Weights and Measures Act, 1963.
§ Mr. RidleyI regret that the information is not readily available.
