Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Trumpington (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 25 February 2010.
NHS: Metric Units
- Question
- I am sorry. Does what the Minister just said apply to weighing machines for domestic cooking? All my cookery books give measurements in pounds and ounces and my weighing machine is not metric.
- Answer
-
My cookery books give a mixture of pounds and ounces and metric measurements, and my scales give both. That is probably how most people’s are these days. Perhaps the noble Baroness should consider asking someone to buy her some new scales for her next birthday.
