This is complete nonsense. There are many distinct advantages to using the same weights and measures as the majority of the world, except the US (not excepting the US military, that have been using metric measurements since the early 80s).
There is literally no requirement for this "inquiry" and it's entirely about ruffling up the Tory/leave fools.
"Pandering to exporters", like the Scottish salmon farmers and the other agricultural exporters, like the manufacturers that now have to fill in EU custom forms and don't even have the benefit of a supposed US market.
Leaving the EU was always a nonsense, from the same people that think "Fog in Channel, continent cut off" is true. EU doesn't need the UK, the UK cut off its nose to spite its face by leaving its primary market, both economically and geographically.
There is literally no advantage to returning to imperial measures from metric.
There is no one, either in importing, or exporting, or domestic industry calling for a return to metric measures. What's next? Return to pre-decimal currency?
