Central European Time

HC Deb 24 January 1990 vol 165 cc695-6W

Mr. Geraint Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is his Department's policy towards the imposition of central European time in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

A Government Green Paper that considered the options open to the United Kingdom with regard to summer time arrangements, including harmonisation with central European time, was published in June 1989. I understand that my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department will be announcing the results in the near future.
