The Tourism Alliance is calling on Government to take the opportunity to provide a £2.2bn boost to the UK tourism industry and create 40,000 new jobs by cutting unnecessary EU Red Tape which restricts domestic tourism growth through reforming the Package Travel Regulations to exclude Value-Added products.

The Tourism Alliance is supporting Rebecca Harris' private member's bill to introduce daylight saving for a trial 3 year period.
Research shows that this would provide numerous benefits including increased tourism employment, reduced fatalities on the roads, reduced carbon emissions and increased outdoor activity.

As a result of the 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review, the Government has decided to reduce VisitBritain's funding by 18% (£9m) over the next three years. This cut is the latest in a series of Government decisions that demonstrate the downgrading of tourism's importance to national policy.

The Tourism Alliance supports the Campaign for Lighter Evenings
THE PROPOSAL
For the UK to undertake a system of Single/Double Summer Time (SDST) for a three year trial period in order to make better use of the hours of daylight that the country receives.
This would mean moving the clocks two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in the summer (GMT+2) and one hour ahead of GMT in the winter (GMT+1).
THE OUTCOME
Moving to SDST means that the UK would have lighter evenings all year round. This would provide considerable environmental, road safety, health and leisure advantages
which would significantly outweigh the disadvantages of darker mornings.

As a result of the 2007 Comprehensive Spending Review, the Government has decided to reduce VisitBritain’s funding by 18% (£9m) over the next three years. This cut is the latest in a series of Government decisions that demonstrate the downgrading of tourism’s importance to national policy. Over the last decade, there has been no increase in expenditure on overseas marketing, three major restructurings of the British Tourist Authority, English Tourist Board, English Tourism Council and VisitBritain and the erosion of government support for tourism at the national level.

Hi,
I've read the briefing on this bill, posted on the front page of this site, and a similar briefing on another site and neither one cites a specific named source for the assertion that:
"introducing SDST would reduce the demand for electricity by 3%, thereby cutting carbon emissions and reducing climate change"
I don't believe this statement to be true.
