BILLIONS of pounds of extra tourism and leisure money would be generated each year by not putting the clocks back. What do you think?
A report by the Policy Studies Institute says up to 80,000 jobs could be created in the sectors if the country stayed on British Summer Time.
This could lead to £3 billion extra in the tourism and leisure industries.
The report also says fuel consumption in factories would be cut if the clocks were not put back an hour every October, which would boost the economy.
What do you think about the clocks going back? Is there a point to doing it or should we leave the clocks alone? Do the early dark nights affect you?

Remember to adjust your watch and reset your alarm clock this weekend. The clocks go back one hour at 2am on Sunday as the country abandons British Summer Time (BST) for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
