§ Sir ROBERT PEARCEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will, in view of the Summer Time Act, state for public guidance the official designation of the two hours following midnight of the 30th September next?
Mr. SAMUELThe three hours following midnight (Summer Time) of the night of 30th September—1st October are included in the Summer Time period. The change does not take place until 3 a.m. Summer Time, or 2 a.m. Greenwich Time, on the 1st October. At that hour the clocks will be put back one hour, so that the period 2–3 a.m. Summer Time will be followed by a period 2–3 a.m. Greenwich Time, and they can readily be distinguished by the addition of the words "Summer Time" or "Greenwich Time," as the case may be.
