HC Deb 15 February 1968 vol 758 cc421-2W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will name the eight county councils in favour of British Standard Time and the 20 county councils against it.

Mr. Ross:

The following county councils favoured the extension of summer time throughout the year:

  • Aberdeen.
  • Ayr.
  • Banff.
  • Clackmannan.
  • Dumfries.
  • Fife.
  • Moray.
  • Orkney.

The following county councils favoured either continuation of the current extension of the statutory period of summer time or reversion to the statutory period:

  • Angus.
  • Argyll.
  • Berwick.
  • Bute.
  • Caithness.
  • Dumbarton.
  • Inverness.
  • Kincardine.
  • Kinross.
  • Kirkcudbright.
  • Peebles.
  • Perth.
  • Renfrew.
  • Ross and Cromarty.
  • Roxburgh.
  • Selkirk.
  • Sutherland.
  • West Lothian.
  • Wigtown.

The remaining county councils expressed no view on the matter.

I regret that in my reply to the hon. Member's Question on 6th February I indicated that 20 county councils were opposed to the extension of summer time throughout the year. This figure should have been 19.—[Vol. 758, c. 99.]
