HC Deb 07 June 1945 vol 411 cc1100-1W
Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether Double Summer Time can be continued until the first Sunday in September in view of the fuel shortage.

Sir D, Somervell

Account was taken of the fuel position as well as of other considerations when the decision was reached that with a view to mitigating the difficulties of the agricultural community the terminal date should be the 15th July; and my present information is that there are no new considerations to warrant a departure from that date.
