Subsequent developments The act was amended by the Summer Time Order 2002 (SI 2002/262), which came into force on 11 March 2002. The order substituted section 1(2) to specify the period of summer time as the period beginning at one o'clock, Greenwich mean time, on the last Sunday in March and ending at one o'clock, Greenwich mean time, on the last Sunday in October. The order also omitted section 2 of the act, which had empowered Her Majesty by Order in Council to vary the period of summer time or to provide for double summer time. These amendments implemented Directive 2000/84/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on summer-time arrangements.
