Calls for time change grow
PRESSURE was growing yesterday on the first day of British Summer Time for a change to the clocks to give another hour of daylight in the evenings all year round. Climate change campaigners added their voices to calls for the UK to change from the current arrangement.
Culture Secretary Ben Bradshaw said the change would be "good for business, good for the environment, improve safety and increase people's well-being".
Climate campaigners 10:10 said the change would bring the UK closer to a 10 per cent reduction in its carbon emissions.
