§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make a statement on the response he has received to his consultation document regarding British summer time; and whether he has yet reached any conclusions.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggA consultation note was sent to Government Departments last year with a request that they seek the views of interested bodies on the options set out in that note for future summer time arrangements.
The results of this survey are being studied and will form the basis of a consultation document to be published in the near future with the intention of stimulating wider public debate on the matter.
