HC Deb 05 November 1991 vol 198 cc73-4W
Mr. Butterfill

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what assessment he has made of the benefits to the tourism industry of moving the United Kingdom into central European time.

Mr. Forth

The Department contributed towards the costs of the work leading to the Policy Studies Institute report "Making The Most Of Daylight Hours", published in 1988. This report concluded that the adoption of single/double summer time would bring a number of likely benefits to the tourism industry.
