That was the first reference I saw. It doesn't address the question of what happens when the clock is set back an in October. Specifically, at 0100 hours on October 30 of this year, will the clocks in the UK be set back to 2400 hours on October 29, or will they be set to 0000:01 hours on October 30, or are they set to some other time later than midnight the preceding day?
