Proceeding contribution from Robert Flello (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]

My hon. Friend is making a very good and thoughtful speech. Does she agree that there are two other concerns? If a shop worker has been lucky enough to get a ticket to an event on a Sunday, there is a risk that they will go to their employer and be told, ““No, sorry, you've got to get rid of the ticket. You're not going,”” or that their colleagues will be upset because the employee will say to their employer, ““I have a ticket. I would like to go,”” and the employer will say, ““Yes, you can go, but that means one of your colleagues now has to fill your place on Sunday.””
