HC Deb 25 January 1990 vol 165 c871W
37. Mr. Forman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the results of his Department's consultation on the possible introduction of single double summer time.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

We shall be informing the House of the results in the near future.

127. Mr. Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department with whom the responsibility for determining the summer time arrangement in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe from 1993 onwards will lie.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The start and end dates for summer time for 1993 onwards in all member states of the European Community will be determined by negotiation within the EC and ultimately by the Council of Ministers as has been the case since 1981. It is for the United Kingdom alone to determine which time zone it wishes to adopt throughout the year.
