Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Addington (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Monday, 7 November 2005.


British Summer Time

Question
My Lords, is there not a case for taking a good long look at this matter under agreed criteria so that we can come to a conclusion and move on? It has become a hardy perennial of the parliamentary scene.
Answer

My Lords, there would be much to be gained if we could. This looks to me like an insuperable problem. A colleague of mine once described it as being rather like a poisoned chalice without any clear sign of where the chalice is.
