HC Deb 11 July 1977 vol 935 c48W
Mr. Weetch

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will review testing procedures for potential recruits on matters of measurement so that young people who have been taught metric measurements alone in schools are not at a disadvantage when facing test questions set in yards, feet and inches.

Mr. Wellbeloved

Yes. Recruiting tests containing imperial measurements are already being reviewed.
