Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Bishop of Chester (Bishops (affiliation)). It was answered on Monday, 7 November 2005.
British Summer Time
- Question
- My Lords, I am glad that the Minister recognises that there is a theological dimension to the issue. I can assure the House that whatever happens to the clocks, the Bishops will be up at the same time in the morning saying their prayers. Does the Minister think that the pressure towards extending summer time is a reflection of the general decadence of our society, with people getting up later in the morning?
- Answer
-
My Lords, no. I think that it is a straight fight between those who get up early and go to bed early and those who get up late and go to bed late. Where you divide on that issue, you divide on the whole issue.
