Letter: Wrong time for Britain

Sir: While I personally share your enthusiasm for the prolongation of Summer Time throughout the whole year, I suspect your Scottish readers may feel that your blithe assumption that they will not 'really mind' confirms their impression that the English take them for granted.

Why not allow them to decide whether or not they would prefer to have a time zone of their own? I thought we were supposed to be in favour of subsidiarity.

Yours faithfully,

NORMAN HAMPSON
