§ Sir A. Hurdasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will announce the dates of Summer Time next year.
§ Mr. BrookeI propose to continue in 1964 the limited extension of the statutory period of Summer Time introduced experimentally in 1961. However, in order to avoid the period starting on Easter Day the spring extension will be one week longer than usual. Thus the total extension of the statutory period next year will be of seven weeks, four in the spring and three in the autumn. Parliament will in due course be invited to approve a draft of an Order in Council providing for Summer Time in 1964 to run from 22nd March to 25th October.
