HC Deb 06 July 1972 vol 840 c199W
Mr. Edward Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he still anticipates that the greater part of the industrial sector will be using the metric system for most purposes by the end of 1975, as was indicated in paragraph 46 of Cmnd. 4880 entitled, "Metrication".

Mr. Onslow

I have every expectation that the metric system will be in widespread use in the industrial sector by that date.
