To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if she will bring forward legislative proposals to end the use of daylight saving time.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if she will bring forward legislative proposals to end the use of daylight saving time.
The Government has no plans to change the daylight saving arrangements. The Government believes that the current daylight saving arrangements represent the optimal use of the available daylight across the UK.
While there is the potential for some benefits from a change in the current arrangements, there is also a real risk of negative impacts. A change to permanent summertime or double summertime may also have significant impacts on certain sectors and businesses.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make it her policy to pay (a) nurses and (b) other healthcare and NHS staff for the extra hour they spend on shift when the clocks go back.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make it her policy to pay (a) nurses and (b) other healthcare and NHS staff for the extra hour they spend on shift when the clocks go back.
Most nurses and other healthcare staff that are directly employed by National Health Service organisations are covered by national terms and conditions of service. These national terms and conditions do not make specific provisions, including pay provisions, for shifts that cover the period when the clocks change twice a year. This is therefore a matter for NHS organisations to determine locally, taking steps to ensure that consistent approaches are taken.

The Government believes the current daylight-saving arrangements represent the optimal use of the available daylight across the UK.
While there is the potential for some benefits from a change in the current arrangements, there is also a real risk of negative impacts. A change to permanent summertime or double summertime may also have significant impacts on certain sectors and businesses.
Given the potential scale of impacts involved, an exceptionally wide-ranging cost benefit analysis would need to be performed to inform a decision on changing the current system.

As the Leader of the House will know, in a little over a month’s time we will go through the unnecessary and archaic ritual of
putting our clocks back, thereby plunging the UK into darkness and misery by mid-afternoon for a period of several months. May we have a Government...
