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.

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 welcomes the campaign to adopt Central European Time; notes that such a change would prove to be very beneficial to various sports and the fixtures they hold during winter periods; similarly notes that evening sporting events held at different periods of the year would gain from the opportunities afforded to their followers due to later start times; and calls upon her Majesty's Government to accept the recommendation of the campaign as soon as possible.
