Putting The Clocks Back
A recent MORI survey for the Greater London Authority shows a high level of support for remaining on British Summer Time (BST) all year round, therefore ending the practice of putting back the clocks in winter.

The survey found that 63% of Londoners and 56% of people in Scotland would support staying on BST year round.

Growing Pressure On Private Sector Defined Benefit Pension Schemes
According to new research conducted by MORI for the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF), the rate of closure of private sector final salary schemes has slowed considerably. In the 2004 survey it is reported that 10% of such schemes have been closed in the past 12 months, a figure less than half that seen in 2003 (26%) and similar to the level of 2001. The suggestion is that most of those final salary schemes that are likely to close to new members have now done so.

Out Of Town Shopping
Research conducted by MORI for King Sturge, on behalf of The Accessible Retail and Shopping Park Investors Forum has found that the likelihood among consumers to visit out of town shopping facilities over town or city centres appears to be influenced by whether people drive and whether they have a car in their household. However the decision is also determined largely by the type of goods being purchased. The research was conducted to better understand the use of transport in relation to various types of shopping and non-shopping related journeys and to look at the behaviour and attitudes of consumers with regard to different retail offers.
