Written question asked by Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Shutt of Greetland (Liberal Democrat) on Monday, 27 September 2010.
Sunday Trading
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will seek to amend Schedule 4 to the Sunday Trading Act 1994 to extend the right of shop workers not to work on Sunday to distribution workers in the retail sector; and whether any potential increase of Sunday trading hours will be undertaken by primary legislation or an amendment to the Sunday Trading Act 1994 by a legislative reform order.
- Answer
-
Schedule 4 to the Sunday Trading Act 1994 has been repealed—similar provisions now form Part 4 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The Government have no plans to extend to distribution workers the rights of shop workers not to work on a Sunday. We believe the current balance of the legislation is right. The Government currently have no plans to amend the Sunday Trading Act 1994.
