Lord Cormack
Main Page: Lord Cormack (Conservative - Life peer)My Lords, no decisions have been taken in relation to our proposals or to the legislative vehicle. I cannot help the noble Lord.
Will my noble friend accept that those of us who opposed the relaxation of Sunday trading restrictions many years ago forecast that Sunday would become another high street Saturday? That prophecy has been fulfilled. Will she please try to persuade her ministerial colleagues not to take it further?
My Lords, of course, this is a matter of balance and we feel that there is opportunity for change. We are looking at the arguments. My own view is that Sunday does remain special. Society has changed but some of us still go to church.
