In 1947, the metric measurements were made the primary units of measurement with imperial measurements secondary. In 1975 the imperial measurements were omitted from the Laws completely and all measurements were stated in metric units only.

Advertising still tended to use some imperial measurements, but that was gradually phased out as people became more familiar with litres and mL.
