Energy Saving (Daylight) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Russell Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 26 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Energy Saving (Daylight) Bill.
I congratulate the hon. Member for South Suffolk (Mr. Yeo) on securing a high place in the ballot for private Member’s Bills, although I am disappointed in the Bill that he has promoted. It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Wealden (Charles Hendry). He made positive comments and I suspect that a common thread runs through his views and mine on the matter. I am a Unionist, but let me make it abundantly clear that I support devolution. I oppose any possibility of part of our nation being in a different time zone. I do not know what the best way of putting my next point is: I had confrontations, locked horns or went head to head with my former colleague, Nigel Beard on the matter because I opposed his private Member’s Bill, which had the same aim.
