The Weights & Measures (Beer & Cider) Bill of 1997 states:
Quote:
|
Any reference to a quantity of beer or cider in any provision made under section 22 above in relation to the sale of draught beer or cider shall be construed as a reference to that quantity disregarding the gas comprised in any foam on the beer or cider
|
The 1985 Weights & Measures Act also says it is an offence to serve short measures:
Quote:
Subject to sections 33 to 37 below, any person who, in selling or purporting to sell any goods by weight or other measurement or by number, delivers or causes to be delivered to the buyer—
(a)a lesser quantity than that purported to be sold, or
(b)a lesser quantity than corresponds with the price charged,
shall be guilty of an offence.
