§ Mr. Spellerasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will recommend a date by which metrication in the drapery and textile industry should be completed.
§ Mrs. Sally OppenheimSince the Government have no plans for imposing any further compulsory metrication, completion of the drapery and textile industry's voluntary programme is entirely in its own hands. I understand that it is changing to metric measurements voluntarily and hopes that any transition will be orderly and that consumers will not be confused or misled as a result.
