Lighter Evenings (Experiment) Bill [HL]

I will briefly make a comment here. I initially said at Second Reading that the real problem is the fact that geography dictates that you only have X amount of light hours in the day, and it is merely a matter of how we use them. I also pointed out at that time, in agreeing with the noble Lord, that it would be slightly absurd if you happened to be somewhere with a frequently crossed border. For example, I live in Berkshire but buy my milk in Wiltshire. If there is a difference in time zone, it is going to cause considerable inconvenience. My gut reaction on this is that constituents can twists arms on it. Letting them deal with it in the other end of the building would be my preferred option for the simple reason that a great deal of conjecture goes on here. One of our strengths on most issues is that we do not get squeezed that hard or that readily on various issues. I suggest that it is more appropriate that those in another place deal with this issue if this Bill has any future.
