HC Deb 25 February 1985 vol 74 c7W
Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he intends to bring into effect section 19 of the Weights and Measures Act 1979.

Mr. Fletcher

Initiatives are actively being pursued by both the Department, in reviewing the beer glass regulations; and by the licensed trade, in drawing up proposals for guidelines for voluntary self-regulation. In these circumstances it would be premature to consider implementing Section 19.
