Proceeding contribution from Gavin Shuker (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]
Is not the point here that Sundays are perhaps easier to fill because many employers pay a premium to have staff working on a Sunday? When I worked in Woolworths for five years, I received time and a half on a Sunday. Is not the reality—[Interruption.] There should be no laughter about the demise of Woolworths, because it was a great store for pick 'n' mix, among other things. Labour Members fear that this measure will act as a Trojan horse and that we will be on a slippery slope whereby we end up with those rights being diminished, and with time and a half or time and a third arrangements going completely.
