Mr. Vyvyan Adams
asked the Home Secretary whether he will now introduce legislation to enable him to extend summer-time by a further hour?
Sir J. Anderson
No, Sir. I am not aware of any demand for this change on the part of those who would be most affected by it.
Mr. Adams
Is it not worth while reducing black-out accidents to a minimum? Is my right hon. Friend aware that his refusal will, inevitably, mean a number of avoidable road deaths?
Sir J. Anderson
I do not think that conclusion can be drawn as regards the summer months.
Mr. George Griffiths
Is the Home Secretary aware that the miners would be opposed to this?
