The hon. Member for Banff and Buchan (Dr Whiteford) is right to say that the number of road deaths fell from 5,600 a year in 1986 to 1,850 in Great Britain last year. The point is that when we change our clocks back, the number of deaths rises—that happens regardless...

Does my hon. Friend agree that the debates on the matter in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England ought to be based on the research of Mayer Hillman, whose booklet ““Time for Change”” points out that some of those who would gain the most are in Scotland?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. May I briefly say that the issue underlying the amendments tabled by my hon. Friend the Member for Christchurch (Mr Chope) is whether we will align our waking hours and working hours to the available daylight? It is quite clear that we...

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. We understand your response to my hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Mr Ellwood), but my hon. Friend the Member for Christchurch (Mr Chope) now appears to be saying that we do not need the Bill. In my experience, that is not...

I often think that I understand what is going on. I thought that the oversight group was supposed to look at methodologies—the sort of thing for dry statisticians, rather than for people with strong personal views about what the outcome should be.

Was it not the expression that Sir Winston Churchill used when he brought in daylight saving during the war?

I am grateful for my hon. Friend's response to my hon. Friend the Member for North East Somerset (Jacob Rees-Mogg), because the attitude of the latter was the kind of thing that helped to delay the abolition of slavery for generations and stopped Samuel Plimsoll from getting a white line...

The answer is simple: the politicians lost their nerve. The small increase in the morning was heavily outweighed by the reduction in the afternoons and evenings, yet the minority effect was taken as the majority one. That is the kind of thing that can happen outside the House, but it...

As my hon. Friend probably knows, when I was considering the matter 20 years ago, I thought that in the populated middle belt of Scotland there would be great gains. In answer to a question from me, the then Secretary of State for Scotland said that there was no law...

That this House believes that the introduction of single/double summer time, involving putting the clocks forward to GMT + 2 in summer and GMT + 1 in winter, would reduce accidents and cut deaths and serious injuries on the roads, especially among children and other vulnerable people, would reduce peaks in electricity demand and thereby cut the level of generating capacity that has to be maintained, would reduce the amount of energy consumed by households thereby saving money and reducing carbon emissions and would confer a range of social and other benefits on British people; and therefore welcomes the introduction, with cross-party support, of the Energy Saving (Daylight) Bill, which would introduce a three year experiment with single/double summer time while allowing the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh and Northern Irish Assemblies a separate vote on the issue.

That this House supports moving clocks forward an additional one hour in England and Wales to create a system of summer time/double summer time which could lead to a reduction in deaths and serious injuries of some 2,500 per annum, would create an extra hour's afternoon light every day for sports and outdoor activities of all kinds and would give relief from night time aircraft noise.

I was not here for the opening of the debate because I was attending a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association seminar. Would it be a good idea to invite the Minister to try to bring together groups, such as RoadPeace and Brake, with Members of the other House to hold a small...

That this House recalls the experiment between 1968 and 1971 which retained British Summer Time in winter and which changed to 'double summertime' between March and October and which led to a reduction in deaths and serious injuries of about 2,500 per year; notes the present call of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents for a further two year trial of the earlier scheme using modern evaluation methods and data collection to provide accurate figures on its benefits in terms of reducing road accidents; and calls upon the Government to introduce such a further trial from an early date.

That this House recognises the enormous advantages for all the people of this country in moving Britain's clocks forward by one hour throughout the year, thereby matching daylight and waking hours more effectively; notes that the move is supported by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents and the Police Federation because, according to Transport Research Laboratory calculations, the result of such a move would be 140 fewer fatalities and 520 fewer serious injuries on the roads every year, with the Scots benefiting proportionately more than others; further notes that an extra hour of evening daylight would benefit children, working women, and elderly people, who are disadvantaged and threatened by the early dusk and darkness, as well as cutting energy costs by ??260 million per year; recognises the benefits that extra evening light would have on the health & lifestyle of the British people, and the ??1 billion increase in tourism revenues that the consequently longer holiday season would provide; similarly recognises the greater convenience to all business people communicating with and travelling to and from Europe; welcomes the European Commission's review of summer time arrangements in the Community which has now resulted in the adoption of a Directive to ensure that all EU members end summer time along with Britain in October; and therefore calls on the Government to allow Parliament to decide on Britain's move to single/double summer time at the earliest opportunity.

That this House, knowing that there is no agricultural or employment legislation governing voluntarily delayed starting times for milking dairy cows or for construction activity, calls on farmers and builders in Scotland to recognise the positive advantages for Scots that will be the consequences of the adoption of carrying summer time through the winter; and recognises that worthwhile activity will increase, casualties will reduce in numbers and employment will expand.
