Sunday Trading

Baroness Gardner of Parkes Excerpts

Tuesday 6th July 2010 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Wilcox]

I can confirm all of that.

[Baroness Gardner of Parkes]

My Lords, does the Minister not think that there is a slight misrepresentation in it being put to her that the noble Baroness, Lady Thatcher, bowed to big pressure from big business? Those of us involved in the legislation at the time mostly remember very clearly the splendid campaign run by the noble Baroness, Lady Jay, on Sunday trading.

[Baroness Wilcox]

Yes, my noble friend has a very good point.
