Daylight Savings Bill

Asked whether Number 10 no longer supported the Daylight Savings Time Bill following comments by the Prime Minister in the Financial Times that Britain boasts the most favourable time zone in the world, the PMS reminded Lobby that the Prime Minister had said there should be consensus across the United Kingdom on Daylight Savings time. Asked if that meant that a small minority could block the wishes of the majority, the PMS repeated that any change should be by consensus. Asked how consensus would be established, the PMS directed the Lobby to BIS for details on the process.
