BmPilot - You are correct regarding the use of the word millibars as quoted in CAP 413. It is, however, "best practice" within Terminal Control to use the word millibars on every occasion because of the potential for confusion with inches of mercury.

I have in the past had a pilot read back 3014 instead of 1014. So it does make sense.
