HC Deb 11 October 1945 vol 414 c389
23. Captain Gammans

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, before making the decision to abolish British Summer Time, he took into consideration the campaign to increase coal production.

Mr. Ede

Yes, Sir.

Captain Gammans

Does the Minister's answer mean that there is no extra coal used if all the lights are put on one hour earlier, or is it that there is no co-ordination between one Department and another?

Mr. Ede

It means neither of those things.
