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

Daylight Saving Bill

I wrote to Translink, the main public transport provider in Northern Ireland, in relation to this debate and it took the contrary view. Translink said that if it were darker in the mornings, when the rush hour is much more concentrated in Northern Ireland, that could lead to more accidents than if it were darker in the afternoon, when the rush hour is more staggered. The hon. Gentleman can talk about his evidence, but other professionals in the field see things slightly differently from him.
