Metrication in the United Kingdom
I 1965 meddelte den daværende Federation of British Industry den britiske regering, at dens medlemmer gik ind for at indføre det metriske system. Board of Trade indvilligede på regeringens vegne i at støtte et tiårigt program for metrisk omregning. Der skulle være et minimum af lovgivning, da programmet skulle være frivilligt, og omkostningerne skulle bæres der, hvor de faldt.

Metrication in the United Kingdom
In 1965, the then Federation of British Industry informed the British Government that its members favoured the adoption of the metric system. The Board of Trade, on behalf of the Government, agreed to support a ten-year metrication programme.
