Daylight Savings Bill

Today I am staying in Parliament to support my colleague Rebeccas Harris as she brings forward the Daylight Savings Bill. This Private Members Bill would require the government to launch an inquiry into the benefits of moving clocks forward by an hour throughout the year. I think it is an excellent idea that has widespread support from constituents and is supported by a wide range of people including road safety, environmental, tourism and sports groups.

For the daylight savings bill to pass, 102 MPs must vote in favour of it. I hope that an extra hour of daylight in the evening will be a good thing for the people of Salisbury and the country as a whole.

 John with Rebecca Harris MP, who has proposed the Daylight Savings Bill.
