HC Deb 15 November 1972 vol 846 c157W
Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what controls he has taken to prevent exploitation of the consumers when the change to metric measures takes place; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Godber

The timetable for the application of metrication to food is not yet settled. It will be the Government's intention to work out beforehand in consultation with all concerned, including, of course, consumer interests, satisfactory arrangements which will avoid the risk to which the Question refers.
