Sunday Trading
(asked on 20th March 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of extending the hours of trading on Sundays for shops larger than 280 square metres.
This question was answered on 24th March 2017
The Government assessed the Sunday Trading Act previously and sought to change the rules last year by providing a power so that local authorities could take decisions on extending Sunday trading hours locally.
Parliament decided not to support those proposals and the Government has no plans to bring forward further legislation at this time.
