HC Deb 18 January 1990 vol 165 c515 10.31 pm
Mr. Bill Walker (Tayside, North)

I have a petition from 400 people in Scotland who oppose the EEC proposals to harmonise United Kingdom time with European Community time. These proposals, if implemented, would mean that in parts of Scotland the sun would rise at 10.30 am during the very short days of winter.

Mine is the first of many petitions on this matter. It says: Wherefore your petitioners pray that your Honourable House reject the European Community proposals to harmonise all of the Community into one time zone.

To lie upon the Table.
