Mr. Ross

I have received representations against the British Standard Time Bill from the following 88 local authorities and other representative organisations since the Government announced their decision to introduce the Measure on 22nd June, 1967. I have received similar representations from 28 private firms and individuals; and in addition five hon. Members have sent me petitions signed by a number of their constituents and others. I have received no representations in favour.
