Sunday Trading

Lord Bishop of Gloucester Excerpts

Tuesday 6th July 2010 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Wilcox]

My Lords, as I said, the Government have no plans to alter anything at the moment.

[The Lord Bishop of Gloucester]

My Lords, can the Minister confirm that the Government have no intention to relax the current Sunday Trading Act in a way that would alter Boxing Day this year, which is on a Sunday, to be a normal shopping day, which would undermine the rights of workers to a proper Christmas break?

[Baroness Wilcox]

I can confirm that the Government have no plans to change the rules on Sunday trading at the moment.
