Business question from Ann Coffey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 March 2012. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The Chancellor announced yesterday that the Government plan to legislate to suspend the Sunday Trading Act 1994 for eight Sundays to coincide with the Olympics. There is concern that that is less to do with the Olympics than with testing the water for a permanent repeal of the Act. Will the Leader of the House confirm that it will be limited legislation, as announced by the Chancellor yesterday?
