Measure
London, Feb. 26.
The Home Secretary, Mr. Chuter Ede, announced in the House of Commons this afternoon that Government had decided to legislate for single summer time from March 16 to Novem- ber 2 anddouble summer time from April 13 to August 10. A bill will be introduced on Thurs- day and the Govermnent hopes that the House will deal with it expeditiously.
