From <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Summer_Time>:

    A further inquiry during 1966–1967 led the government of Harold
    Wilson to introduce the British Standard Time experiment, with
    Britain remaining on GMT+1 throughout the year. This took place
    between 27 October 1968 and 31 October 1971, when there was a
    reversion to the previous arrangement.

Andreas.
