	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2021 answer text <p>The Government recognises that some people have a preference to use imperial units in their day to day lives. At the same time, it recognises that many others are not familiar with imperial units and that the use of metric is a necessity for British businesses to compete in markets around the world. Therefore, the UK system allows for information to be provided in imperial units alongside metric.</p><p> </p><p>While the majority of trade in the UK is conducted using metric units to ensure consistency in commerce and science, there are already some limited exemptions that allow for certain traditional imperial measures to be used, without metric alongside, for specific uses. Now we have left the EU we will consider whether further limited exemptions can be applied for other traditional uses.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 01/06/2021 11:39:22 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
