DOUBLE SUMMER TIME

Early day motion 1897, tabled 23 March 2006 by Greg Hands (Conservative). Signed by 29 members.

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.
