Proceeding contribution from Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Friday, 3 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Daylight Saving Bill.
Daylight Saving Bill
We had an experiment in the 1960s and there was no clear outcome in the studies of the road accident statistics. The Home Secretary of the day, Reginald Maudling, said:"““The figures are not clear enough to base a decision upon.”” —[Official Report, 2 December 1970; Vol. 807, c. 1335.]" So we have had the experiment and no clear figures emerged, because of other factors, such as breathalysers, seat belts and so on. Another experiment would simply result in the same unclear figure.
