HC Deb 09 February 1976 vol 905 c71W
Mr. Giles Shaw

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection when she expects to announce the date when it will be legal for food manufacturers to introduce packing to average fill.

Mr. Alan Williams

Introduction of the average system will require legislation. The timing of this legislation will depend largely on the recommendations of the Working Party on Metrological Control Systems.
