§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Minister for Trade if he will now introduce an order to bring into operation section 19 of the Weights and Measures Act 1979 to make it mandatory to use lined glasses for the serving of beer and cider on licensed premises.
§ Mr. SproatImplementing section 19 would not make it obligatory to use lined glasses for serving beer or cider on licensed premises. However, my hon. Friend the Minister for Consumer Affairs is considering further evidence he has received about alleged increases in the incidence of short measure beer to see whether any action is needed.
