Proceeding contribution from Baroness Trumpington (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 16 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sunday Trading (Horticulture) Bill [HL].
Sunday Trading (Horticulture) Bill [HL]
My Lords, it is many years since I was associated with the passing of the original Sunday Trading Act, probably in the guise of my noble friend Lord Ferrers’s fag. At the same time I was Minister for Horticulture and therefore had a keen interest in what was going on in that Act. While I recognise that the chance of a paid Sunday job may suit some people extremely well, others do not feel the same about being compelled to work on that day. Will my noble friend Lord Courtown say whether the relevant trade union is satisfied with the contents of his Bill?
