Proceeding contribution from Lord Tanlaw (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Friday, 24 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Lighter Evenings (Experiment) Bill [HL].
Lighter Evenings (Experiment) Bill [HL]
My Lords, the noble Lord is right in a way, but I really do not see a problem. Far fewer people cross the border north and south between England and Scotland than cross the Channel. These days, it is not really a problem for businessmen and tourists to have to twist their watches one way or the other. The noble Lord must be more precise and cite an actual business problem similar to the one we have in Europe at the moment simply by having a time difference of an hour.
