“Supposing some unfortunate lady was confined with twins and one child was born 10 minutes before 1 o’clock; if the clock was put back, the registration of the time of birth of the two children would be reversed. … Such an alteration might conceivably affect the property and titles in that house.”
— Lord Balfour of Burleigh, opposing daylight saving time, House of Lords, May 1916 (via Futility Closet)
