§ 62. Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many representations he has had on the possible reduction in road accidents that would result from a change to British standard time or a combination of British standard time and double British summer time; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyTwenty-three letters. Nine favoured combining British standard time and double British summer time, eight favoured harmonising the autumn end date of British summer time, one favoured both of these and five wanted to maintain the status quo.
My right hon. Friend the Home Secretary proposes to issue a consultation paper before deciding on future arrangements.
