British Heritage Engineering And Imperial Units (EDM1290)

British Heritage Engineering And Imperial Units

EDM number 1290 in 2006-07, proposed by John Hemming on 18/04/2007.

That this House notes the concerns of model engineers and other heritage engineering workers that they may not be allowed to use imperial measurements subsequent to the EU Directive 80/181; recognises that this could do a considerable amount of damage to the maintenance of imperial heritage engineering and the model engineering sector; and calls for an urgent review by the Government of mechanisms to facilitate the continuation of this aspect of British heritage, which may include a permanent derogation from this aspect of the directive facilitating the reporting of measurements in both imperial and metric units.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
