§ Mr. Harold Walkerasked the Minister for Trade (1) if he will take steps to require breweries to state the volume of the actual content of sealed casks or kegs supplied to licensed house tenants;
(2) if he will introduce legislation to protect tenants and managers of licensed houses from being overcharged by breweries when beer or ale is supplied in sealed kegs or casks and is in short measure.
§ Dr. Vaughan[pursuant to his reply, 29 November 1982, c. 64]: No. It is already an offence under section 24(1) of the Weights and Measures Act 1963 to deliver to a buyer a quantity which does not correspond with the price charged.
