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

My Lords, the Minister disappointed me and I am now going to retaliate by disappointing him because I shall not withdraw the amendment. He listed events that would go on beyond 10 o'clock as a point of absurdity in relation to shops being closed. I do not know how many people he thinks are going to go shopping after they have been in Horse Guards Parade watching beach volleyball on a Sunday evening after 10 o'clock, but to my mind such a notion beggars description. The Minister is always fertile with arguments that sustain his challenges but on this occasion I am going to disappoint him and test the opinion of the House. Division on Amendment 1G Contents 100; Not-Contents 186. Amendment 1G disagreed. Clause 2 : Duration, extent and short title Amendment 2 Moved by
