Time in the UK is defined, in statute, as Mean Time at Greenwich. An attempt to alter this to UTC *was rejected* by Parliament.
Was it actually rejected by vote, or was it just forgotten about because of the (to most parlamentarians) obscure nature of the topic? I know about the transcript of the second reading of Lord Tanlaw's proposal on http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld199798/ldhansrd/vo970611/text/706... but was there any further voting on it?
