Weights and Measures (Metrication Amendments) Regulations 2001
7:45 pm
Lord Phillips of Sudbury (Liberal Democrat)
My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way, but there is a further cost and that is that on 1st January 2010 everyone will have to throw away their existing scales because it will be a criminal offence from that date to have scales that have both traditional and metric measurements.
