Debate on metric system bill and Oxford Cambridge University bill
The House spent most of Wednesday morning discussing Mr. W Ewart's metric bill proposing metre and gram standards with the arc and litre units and a later compulsory adoption. The second reading passed 217 to 65 after opposition by Mr Hors and debate on compatibility with the International Commission on Weights and Measures. Petitions favored and opposed the Oxford Cambridge Universities Bill, with Coleridge defending a reform removing religious restrictions, and opponents warning of secularizing the colleges.
