Proceeding contribution from Frank Dobson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Sunday Trading (London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games) Bill [Lords].
Sunday Trading (London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games) Bill [Lords]
Have the Government given any consideration to the impact of this proposal on drunkenness, in view of the fact that one of the major contributions of the big stores is to sell booze at less than cost price? Is it not likely that, given the celebratory atmosphere, they will do so even more? I am a strong supporter of the Olympics and the Paralympics, but I am fearful that in many town centres this proposal will be more about people getting paralytic than about the Paralympics.
