Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of reintroducing imperial measurements on levels of future R&D investment in the UK.
The Government has launched its consultation ‘Choice on units of measurement: markings and sales’. The consultation seeks further views on the potential impact of any changes to the law and an impact assessment will be carried out in due course.
