The Prime Minister looked flustered before telling his questioner: 'I suppose they told you that before you came in here.'
It was doubly embarrassing for the Labour leader coming after a call by his predecessor Lord Kinnock for Britain's road signs to go metric within five years.
The peer was backing a report by the UK Metric Association (UKMA).
