HC Deb 19 April 1923 vol 162 c2318W
Mr. LAMB

asked the Home Secretary in what British Dominions and foreign countries the summer-time system is still retained; and whether it is proposed to endeavour to reach an international agreement on the subject in view of the confusion created by the present position?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I am unable to give the information asked for. Every endeavour has been made by the British Government to secure an international agreement on the subject, but in view of the fact that France has abandoned the principle of summer time altogether, I am afraid any international agreement is out of the question.
