The daylight saving bill has this afternoon been passed in the commons by a large majority. The bill is also known to have large support in the lords.

OMG

Bad move !

It's been tried before and in practice people did not like it.

It makes it lighter later in the morning as well, particularly in the winter, and that was the killer.

Some people might not have liked it. Many people will have liked it.
There was a lot of (now discredited) statistics that ended the experiment.
Its all part of being in the EEC too, our time will be in line with CET allowing that extra hour every day for business. It also will help government to meet CO targets and supposedly provide a huge boost to the tourist industry.
I say bring it on.

The only change that I would like to see is ending the twice annual changing of the clocks itself.

A massive waste of time which always ends up with thousands of people forgetting to change some or all of their clocks.

But apparently we can't do that because an EU directive forces us to change the clocks.
Another good reason to get out of the EU.

When this experiment was last on children went to school in the dark for two winters and had to wear fluorescent arm bands. Accidents rate went up and they want to bring it back.
