Daylight Saving Bill

The hon. Gentleman knows, however, that the problem with a private Member's Bill is that it has to get over certain hurdles on a Friday, and that depends on how helpful people want to be. Such issues do not receive the proper scrutiny that they deserve unless we bring everybody's concerns to the table and consider them in the round. Sir John Butterfill, as Members said earlier, also attempted to introduce a private Member's Bill back in 1996, and that is when I first became involved with the issue, working with him on his legislation. His measure was called ““daylight extra””; the one before us is called ““daylight saving””. We have heard from the lighter evenings campaign, and Later Lighter, or Lighter Later, has also commented.
