HC Deb 11 March 1976 vol 907 c285W
39. Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further consideration he will give to the duration of Summer Time, bearing in mind that the EEC draft directive on harmonisation will reduce the length of Summer Time in Great Britain even further.

Dr. Summerskill

We are aware that the draft directive would reduce the length of British Summer Time and we shall have this undesirable result in mind in considering the Commission's proposal.
