Starting in 1916, the dates for the beginning and end of BST each year were mandated by the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]]. From 1940 to 1945, the country used British Summer Time in the winter months and British Double Summer Time, a further hour ahead of GMT, in the summer months. From 1968 to 1971, the country used BST throughout the year.
