HC Deb 06 August 1980 vol 990 c100W
Mr. John Fraser

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will now use his powers under the Weights and Measures Act 1979 to require that a legal pint measure of beer shall consist of liquid beer only and not a combination of liquid and gas.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

[pursuant to her reply, 30 July 1980 c. 692]: Our position remains that we would be most unlikely to use this power without the fullest possible examination and resolution of all the practical difficulties.
