Proceeding contribution from Steve Brine (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 3 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Daylight Saving Bill.

Daylight Saving Bill

I thank my hon. Friend for her earlier congratulations. She knows that I support the Bill, and I am sure that baby William does as well, although I have no idea why, because daylight hours seem to mean little to him. I am still standing, however. We have debated the importance of the Bill's not dying and disappearing again for another few years. However, Ministers are in Cancun at the moment, and surely the Bill's energy-saving implications mean that there is real urgency that that does not happen this time. Such factors were not discussed, debated and evaluated in the 1970s when the matter last came around.
