That this House believes that there is compelling evidence to show that extending daylight saving time and creating an extra hour of daylight in the evening will bring significant environmental, economic and road safety benefits for all parts of the UK; recognises research conducted by Cambridge University showing that an extra hour of daylight will reduce carbon emissions by up to two per cent. by limiting the daily spike of energy consumption; notes the United States Energy Policy Act 2005 which has brought forward the date the clocks go back by three weeks resulting in a reduction in total US energy consumption; acknowledges research conducted by the Policy Studies Institute showing that an extra hour in the evening will extend the British tourist season by 35 per cent. creating between 60,000 and 80,000 jobs; recognises the NAO report that shows road accidents increase by 10 per cent. in the four weeks following the clocks changing in October and that 57 per cent. of all road accidents involving children happen between 3 pm and 7 pm in the evening; and calls on the Government to introduce a three year trial period in order to make better use of daylight hours and energy resources and assess the advantages of different systems including Single Double Summer Time.
