Proceeding contribution from Angus Brendan MacNeil (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Friday, 20 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Daylight Saving Bill.
Daylight Saving Bill
The hon. Gentleman makes a very important point that is often cited. When we look at the data, we see that the graph falls more steeply after the trial, which almost indicates that the trial could have cost lives. Had the trial not occurred, that rapid descent showing the number of people killed in collisions on roads in Great Britain between 1968 and 1971 might have been steeper, meaning that some people who were killed in that period might still be alive today. It is a very serious issue.
