Proceeding contribution from Graham Stringer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 April 2012. It occurred during Legislative debate on Sunday Trading (London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games) Bill [Lords] (Allocation of Time).
Sunday Trading (London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games) Bill [Lords] (Allocation of Time)
My point is about the speed and programming of the Bill. The hon. Gentleman will be aware that Sunday trading is one of the most controversial items in this House. I think that I am right in saying that it was the only item on which Margaret Thatcher was defeated when she was Prime Minister. Does he agree that that makes the Bill completely inappropriate for fast-tracking at the last minute and that this is a sneaky way of dealing with a very difficult issue?
