HC Deb 19 May 1976 vol 911 cc585-6W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what consultations have taken place about the Weights and Measures, &c., Bill

Mr. John Fraser

Since my right hon. Friend announced the postponement of the Second Reading of the Weights and Measures, &c., Bill on 23rd March there have been continuing consultations with a wide range of interested organisations and Members of Parliament. There has been overwhelming support for proceeding with the Bill as soon as possible.
