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 believe it ran out of time. If Parliament had wanted it, they could have offered it more time. So I take that as rejected, even if there wasn't a specific vote. -- Clive D.W.
