§ 20. Mr. Stodartasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received in favour of or against continuing Summer Time throughout the year.
§ Mr. BuchanIn the course of the review announced by my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary on 20th October my right hon. Friend has received representations both for and against continuing Summer Time throughout the year from a variety of interests. They will be studied along with the representations received by my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary and other Ministers.
§ Mr. StodartCan the hon. Gentleman give an assurance that when this matter is being considered, the Secretary of State will pay considerable regard to the fact that, if Summer Time were to be continued all year, it would mean most people having to go to work in the dark in Edinburgh and Glasgow from November until March?
§ Mr. BuchanAs one who went to, and returned from, school in the dark during many winters in the Orkney Islands, I recognise that aspect, which will be kept in mind.
