Sunday Trading (London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games) Bill [Lords]

Debate between Hugh Bayley and Chuka Umunna

Monday 30th April 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Umunna]

May I say how good it is to see my hon. Friend back in the House? He makes a very good point about the Churches.

[Hugh Bayley]

I am trying to make up my mind whether the Government have been caught napping and forced to ramrod this legislation through the House in a single day or whether they are just trying to avoid scrutiny. In making up my mind, I would be interested to know whether the Secretary of State has indicated that he will accept any of my hon. Friend’s good amendments, which would mitigate the measure.

[Mr Umunna]

Unfortunately, our amendments were rejected in the other place and I have had no indication that they will be supported in this House.
