§ 60. Mr. Shepherdasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further inquiries he has made into the possible extension of British Summer Time to conform with the European pattern; what have been the results of these inquiries; and whether he will now announce a decision to conform with the European pattern.
§ Mr. George ThomasThe arrangements at present in force under the Summer Time Order, 1964, provide for Summer Time to be extended from the end of March until the end of October in each year up to and including 1967. This was intended as an experiment. My right hon. Friend is considering how and when these arrangements can best be reviewed, and whether or not a change along the lines suggested by the hon. Member would be desirable.
