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

I admire the hon. and gallant Gentleman's headlong enthusiasm, but we must reflect before plunging ourselves into 15 months of misery. It can be seriously argued that the change in the late '60s and early '70s cost lives, because the rate of road accident deaths did not go down as quickly during that period as it did in subsequent years. If I have to repeat myself again and again before that is understood, I will do so. If we disregard such a serious fact and run to a trial, surely we are putting people in danger.
