Proceeding contribution from Earl Ferrers (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, I shall add a few words, stimulated by my noble friend Lady Trumpington saying that she acted as my fag—a most unsuitable description. She was frequently a great help. I am appalled to hear my noble friend say that he intends that garden centres should be open on Easter Day. I remember taking through the Sunday Trading Act 1994. We had a great battle over days when garden centres should not be allowed to open, and Easter Day was one of them. It would be a retrograde step if that were changed.
