Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (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]

I am finding it difficult as my noble friend is a member of a party that would not force anything on people. I do not understand why they should be forced to have a slow Sunday. I must say that I enjoy Sundays but I want to be able to buy things if I want to. I do not see why he should tell me what to do on Sundays. It is a peculiar kind of conservatism.
