Proceeding contribution from Lord Cormack (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sunday Trading (London Olympic and Paralympic Games) Bill [HL].


Sunday Trading (London Olympic and Paralympic Games) Bill [HL]

In a moment. I remember very well indeed the 1948 Olympics when this was a very different country. It was a country recovering from war; a country with a real pride in itself because of what it had gone through. It really shared in the triumph of the athletes who were competing for one reason above all others—in many cases, for one reason only—their love of sport and competition, not for a love of commerce. Of course, I will give way.
