Abolish Sunday trading laws to boost the economy

We want the government to abolish Sunday trading restrictions, allowing shops of all sizes to operate throughout the day. We want them to remove current limitations on larger stores that force them to open later or close earlier.

We think this could boost the UK economy by enabling businesses to thrive on Sundays. Many people work throughout the week, and we think that by closing shops early on Sundays this limits their ability to spend, hindering economic growth.
