Summertime

Mr. Ellwood
To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills what recent assessment he has made of the merits of introducing British Summer Time and Double British Summer Time.

Mr. McFadden
This is a subject on which people have a range of differing views, and in relation to which requirements vary in different parts of the country. While the Government do not propose to change current arrangements, we continue to listen to representations we receive and consider any evidence presented to us.
