British Standard Time

To ask the Prime Minister what action she intends to take in response to the representations she has received in favour of putting the clock forward by one hour to restore British standard time and double British summer time.

I refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply given by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Hogg) to the hon. Member for Meirionnydd Nant Conwy (Dr. Thomas) on 2 March 1988, at column 567.
