§ 54. Mr. CHORLTON (for Sir JOHN HASLAM)asked the Home Secretary if he will consider the advisability of legislation bringing forward, for this year only, the date when summer time is due to commence from Sunday, 22nd April, to Sunday, 25th March, in order that the benefits of longer daylight may be enjoyed during the Easter holidays?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThe date for the beginning of summer time was settled by Parliament having regard to the convenience of different sections of the community, and I am not prepared to introduce a Bill to amend the existing law.
§ Mr. DORANMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman when we are to have a little daylight on Government policy dealing with the great problem of unemployment?
