".
Today I voted against a Commission proposal for uniformity and metrification of food products, including bread and milk. The effect would have been to end the British measuring of bottled milk in pints and would change the size of our standard loaf.
In addition to imposing meaningless uniformity, both proposals would have imposed immense cost on UK bread-makers and milk processors, because of the re-tooling which would have been required. I had met representatives of the bread industry in Northern Ireland and was in doubt as to the intolerable and costly imposition which was involved.
I am therefore delighted that the European Parliament rejected this aspect of Brussels’ latest crazed proposal."@en1
