Rejected petition End Daylight Saving Time.
Ending Daylight Saving Time.
More details
Some key reason but not limited to these:
Improve mental well-being due by reducing evening darkness.
Allow outdoor sports to continue on unlit parks and venues, which should lead to a higher uptake of exercise and improved fitness.
Better for the environment due to lower electricity usage as people will be outside longer in the evenings or will not need to switch on house lights so early.
Allow the Scottish parliament to legislate which path they wish take.
