§ Mr. Grimondasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if she will take steps to forbid the publication of maps, charts, or pictures purporting to cover the whole of Great Britain which do not show Orkney and Shetland.
Mr. Alan WilliamsI would consider such a map highly misleading. Any trade description considered to be false or misleading should be referred to the appropriate local weights and measures authority which is under a statutory duty to enforce the Trade Descriptions Act 1968.
