Daylight saving to be longer in spring
By VERNON SMALL - The Dominion Post | Tuesday, 13 March 2007
Daylight saving is set to be extended next summer in the hope of taking advantage of more long, warm evenings - especially in March.
The clocks are due to go back an hour on Sunday morning, but this year's late summer has brought pressure to extend daylight saving in future.
Prime Minister Helen Clark all but confirmed that Cabinet would approve an extension. "Yes, we are looking at it and it's really a question of how much."
New times can be set by regulation. No law change is required.
A switch before the weekend is considered logistically impossible, as, for example, airline timetables have already been set.
