The ruling labor party government under prime Harold Wilson favors conversion. It was a previous Wilson govern evil Llinat launched the 10-year program. Government s under the opposition conserva. Live parly in recent years also favored conversion. The chief stumbling Block appears to be a Law which requires the government to reject any move to exclude Imperial units entirely when going to metric. Repeal or amendment of the Law would require an act of parliament and talks Are now under Way among government Industry and business leaders to draft a new Law for submission to parliament during the present session. Yet three previous attempts in parliament since .1970 to make the Melric system compulsory were de sealed although Melric has been in use in Britain for Trade and Commerce since 1899. Britain s conversions thus far have been taken under statutory instruments which Are roughly equivalent. To administrative orders in the . Government.
