Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made, if any, of the estimated energy savings that could be made by moving the UK to the GMT+2 hour time zone during the summer months, and to GMT+1 hour time zone for the rest of the year.

The Government has no plans to change the daylight-saving arrangements.

The Government believes that the current daylight-saving arrangements represent the optimal use of the available daylight across the UK.
