Imperial Measures And Steve Thoburn
EDM number 2028 in 2006-07, proposed by Philip Davies on 26/07/2007.
That this House welcomes the fact that imperial measures will not now become an illegal form of measurement in the UK for the foreseeable future; abhors the fact that traders are not allowed to sell only in imperial measurements even if their customers specifically want to buy items in imperial measurements; calls on the Government to end this attack on people's freedom of choice by immediately bringing forward proposals to remove the legal requirement to sell in metric measurements and to de-criminalise the selling of goods in this traditional way; pays tribute to Steve Thoburn, who became a martyr for standing up and fighting for his customers and the rights of the British people; and supports the campaign to award him a posthumous pardon.
This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
