HC Deb 18 February 1937 vol 320 c1351
42. Mr. Day

asked the Home Secretary whether in view of the fact that the majority of Continental countries have adopted the 24-hour clock for official use and train services, he will consider the appointment of a Departmental Committee for the purpose of reporting on the advantages of the same for Great Britain?

Sir J. Simon

No, Sir. I do not think that there is any wide public demand for the suggested change.
