Lord Lawson of Blaby
Main Page: Lord Lawson of Blaby (Conservative - Life peer)The noble Baroness is quite right. I have a timeline here that expresses exactly what she has just said and I am completely with her on this.
My Lords, may I strongly support the proposal by the noble Lord, Lord Tanlaw, that the question of time zones should be a devolved matter for Scotland? That would allow England to join the Central European Time zone, which, as has been shown, would lead to fewer deaths and to economic benefit.
My noble friend expresses himself clearly and I can express myself clearly, too. We have no actual evidence for all that and, as the Prime Minister has made very clear, he does not want us to change until there is consensus throughout the United Kingdom, which includes Scotland.
