Energy Saving (Daylight) Bill

I do not think that that contradicts my point that the centre of gravity of the delivery round is now later than it was 30 or 40 years ago. The final factor that has changed in the past 30 or 40 years is devolution. I do not want to impose on the Scots a time regime with which they do not feel comfortable. I do not want the Scots to impose on England a time regime with which it does not feel comfortable. As I made clear a few moments ago, I would prefer one regime for the whole of the country, and I hope that that is the outcome. On the Scottish position, the Library has found a paper from the Centre for Technology Management at Cambridge, which put it delicately:"““Many Scots remember the experiment from 1968 to 1971 as causing an increase in road accidents. Folk memory is at variance with the evidence…increased accidents in the morning were offset by a much greater reduction in the evening””." It concludes:"““The available evidence is strongly in favour of Lord Tanlaw’s proposed Bill””," which is the same as my hon. Friend’s. I strongly hope that the House will support a pilot, which will enable us to get more conclusive, definitive evidence to allow us to take a step that should have been taken many years ago.
