§ Mr. Peter BottomleyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will estimate the net effects of maintaining summer time in winter in terms of casualties, employment and simplicity for travellers.
§ Mr. Peter LloydI refer my hon. Friend to the 1989 Green Paper "Summer Time: A Consultation Document" (Cm. 722) which, as part of the assessment of the option of moving to single-double time, considered the effects of maintaining summer time in the winter on various aspects of national life including physical accidents, employment and travel.
