HC Deb 11 March 1968 vol 760 cc197-8W
20. Mr. Mawby

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what discussions he has had, in connection with the introduction of British Standard Time, with different interests in the building industry about the time of starting work on building sites; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellish

In October, 1966 my Department consulted 10 trade associations, professional bodies and unions connected with the construction industry on the implications for the industry of adopting British Standard Time. Widely differing views were expressed and these were taken into consideration when the change was being examined.
