Europe will be putting their clocks forward one hour for summer tonight - When will England join Europe?
If senior UK Suffolk MP has his way the UK will soon all be on the same time as Europe - whether we are in Ipswich or Italy. Tim Yeo tabled a private members bill which would have moved time in this country forward an hour. During the winter we would operate on what is now British Summer Time and during the summer we would have double BST. That is the time used by countries across most of the European Union.
In the European Union, Summer Time begins and ends at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time). It begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same moment.
