Idea mooted by Tory backbench MPs Tobias Ellwood and Rebecca Harris had initially received wary reaction from coalition
The coalition government is expected to announce a new "tourism strategy" that will adopt campaigners' proposals to put the clocks forward to British summer time plus one hour in summer.
The idea, mooted by the backbench Tory MPs Tobias Ellwood and Rebecca Harris, had initially received a wary reaction from the government but now looks likely to gain support.
It would mean lighter evenings during the summer months and could boost outdoor events.
The coalition is likely meet resistance from Scotland if it attempts to bring the clocks forward in winter. Campaigners argue that Scotland's mornings are already very dark and that the risk of road accidents would increase.
