27 and 28. Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) whether he will seek to ensure that in future Greenwich Mean Time will be known as Universal Time, U.T., as is accepted by astronomers and makers of nautical almanacs;
(2) whether he will now seek to ensure that British Summer Time will in future be called Civil Time, C.T.
§ Miss BaconI am grateful to the hon. Member for his suggestions, which my right hon. Friend will consider with others he has received. It is not, however, necessary, and would not be simple, to abandon the term Greenwich Mean Time in its specialised uses.
