Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Pearson of Rannoch (UK Independence Party). It was answered on Tuesday, 6 July 2010.
Sunday Trading
- Question
- My Lords, will the Minister explain to your Lordships the role of the European Council in this matter? Do we really have to go cap-in-hand to Brussels to seek permission not to work on Sundays? If so, is that not the final nail in the always fraudulent concept of subsidiarity?
- Answer
-
I think not. We know that the European Union does the broad legislation, which is then devolved to the individual countries to do as they wish to do. Britain certainly does as it wishes to do—within the European Union, of course.
