Rejected petition Keep British Summer Time (BST) all year round

More details

Petition to keep BST all year round.

There will be more usable daylight hours in the evening, better driving conditions when more people are commuting at tea-time, less power used so more enviromentally friendly, safer for children to play out for longer in the winter.

I want the government to scrap the Autumn clock change, and keep British Summer Time.
