Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Greg Knight (Conservative), on Wednesday, 17 December 2008, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 29 members in total.
CAMPAIGN FOR LIGHTER EVENINGS
That this House notes the growing support for the campaign for lighter evenings; recognises that by moving to a system of Single and Double Summer Time the UK would have lighter evenings and time parity with our European neighbours which would provide considerable road safety, health, business, leisure and energy usage advantages; further notes that the campaign has the support of organisations such as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, Association of Leading Visitor Attractions, the Child Accident Prevention Trust and the Automobile Association; and calls on the Government to introduce a trial period in order to make better use of daylight hours and energy resources and assess the advantages.
