HC Deb 06 March 1987 vol 111 c706W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate he has as to what economic benefits will accrue to the United Kingdom if the Council of Ministers adopts European Economic Community Commission proposals for harmonising the dates of summer time.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The present directive does not expire until 31 December 1988. The Commission has yet to put forward any proposals for harmonising the dates for the end of summer time beyond this.
