Mr. WOODasked the Home Secretary whether, in arriving at the decision to reintroduce summer time this year, regard has been had to difficulties imposed by it on agriculture; and whether, if the decision to introduce it is final, he will consider the desirability of reducing the period for which summer time will be in operation?
§ Mr. SHORTTThe effect of the adoption of summer time on agricultural operations has again been carefully considered, but I have not been able to find sufficient reason for making any substantial change in the period.
