Trial Of Single/double Summer Time

EDM number 14 in 2012-13, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 09/05/2012.
Categorised under the topics of Leisure and Standards.

That this House notes the significant financial, environmental, public health and quality of life benefits that could accrue by advancing the clocks to GMT+1 in winter and GMT+2 in summer; further notes in particular the increased trade in the tourism, hospitality and retail sectors estimated at over 3 billion and 80,000 new jobs, the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from reduced heat and light by aligning the clocks more closely to people's lifestyles and the significant health gains from reduced levels of seasonal affective disorder and increased levels of sports participation and physical activity; further notes the likely reduction in death and injury from fewer road accidents and expected reduction in crime and the fear of crime; and therefore calls on the Government to instigate a three year trial of single/double summer time.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
