Campaign for Lighter Evenings
Stephen Phillips, MP for Sleaford & North Hykeham, today announced his support for the Lighter Later campaign at the Conservative Party Conference. "Lighter evenings would mean safer roads, more jobs and a better quality of life for all my constituents in Sleaford & North Hykeham," Stephen said, "Every year, we waste hundreds of hours of daylight by sleeping through the lighter hours of the morning." Lighter Later is a campaign to shift one hour of light from the morning to the evening where we can actually use it. On 3 December 2010, The Daylight Saving Bill will be considered by the House of Commons where MPs will debate whether or not the UK should make the shift. 10:10's Lighter Later campaign has been backing the move and represents a coalition of bodies from RoSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) through to the Lawn Tennis Association. As the latest research shows, this low-cost, easily-implemented change has the potential to make us safer, happier and healthier, whilst also reducing our carbon footprint.
