Proceeding contribution from Angus Brendan MacNeil (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Friday, 3 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Daylight Saving Bill.

Daylight Saving Bill

I am tempted to say that perhaps people should get up an hour earlier if they are that motivated. Let us assume for a second that the hon. Gentleman has an argument and that he is right—why not go for the compromise of five weeks either side? Without inconveniencing people in Scotland and perhaps in other areas, such as Chester, we could reduce the ““winter”” period by 10 weeks. That would help us on to a more secure stepping stone than the present suggestion.
