Many dumpy bags are supplied with 900 litres of compost rather than 1000 so you need to be sure of the volume first. As said previously, 1000 litres is equal to 1 cubic metre volume. 1000 kg is a metric ton, or 'tonne' which is not too far of an imperial ton especially when using the approximations you would have to accept here.
You would get on average about 750 litres of screened topsoil per tonne, 900 litres of enriched topsoil per tonne, 1100 to 1250 litres of general purpose compost per tonne, 600 litres clean gravel per tonne.
If it is important to you, B & Q would know the weight of a bag for logistical reasons. It might be an idea to email them and ask.
