HC Deb 20 March 1969 vol 780 c131W
37. Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further representations he has now received from the building industry and from the agricultural industry, respectively, regarding British Standard Time; and what replies he has sent.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

My right hon. Friend has received a few representations from individual building firms, but none from the industry as a whole. The National Farmers Union has submitted a report on the effects of British Standard Time on agriculture and has been told that this will be taken into consideration.

38. Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will pay a visit to Scotland in the near future to ascertain the results of one winter's experience of British Standard Time.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

I have nothing to add to the reply given to a Question by the hon. Member on 13th February.—[Vol. 777, c. 353.]
