HC Deb 15 May 1980 vol 984 cc627-8W
47. Mr. Kimball

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proportion of entrants into the agriculture industry come from all-metricated schools; and if he will make a study of the problems which arise from the large number of entrants to the industry who lack knowledge of the traditional measurements still in day-to-day use.

Mr. Wiggin

I regret that the information is not available for a reply to the first part of the question.

I am not aware of any evidence to justify a study of the kind suggested.
