It looks as though we will be spared Jacob Rees-Mogg's eccentric Europe/Taunton.
Rebecca Harris' Daylight Saving Bill was talked out at its report stage
today. It is just possible that the government will give it some of its
own time, but I think that is unlikely.

So another attempt to move the UK's clocks fails. I doubt it will be
the last.

The BBC news report on this is at
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16649868>.

The report stage debate is currently at
<http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmtoday/cmdebate/c_01.htm>.
That URL is always for the current day, so will change to Monday's business
on Monday. The Hansard report for this debate will then be linked from
the Daylight Saving Bill page at
<http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2010-11/daylightsaving.html>.
