Oral answer to question provided on Tuesday, 6 July 2010 in the House of Lords, by Baroness Wilcox (Conservative).
Sunday Trading
- 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.
This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Tuesday, 6 July 2010 by Lord Pearson of Rannoch (UK Independence Party).
- 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?
