That this House notes the recent rulings of the European Court and the House of Lords upholding the Shops Act 1950; now demands that major national retailers set an example by closing their stores on Sundays in observance of the rule of law and in recognition of the sovereignty of Parliament; and urges the Government to support the honourable Member for Ogmore's Shops (Amendment) Bill which received a majority of 173 at Second Reading on 22nd January and which was amended in Committee to make it a compromise solution so that it both meets the reasonable needs of consumers, including DIYs, garden centres as defined by the Horticultural Trades Association and convenience stores up to 3,000 square feet in size, and substantially maintains the special character of Sunday.

That this House shares the concern reported in The House Magazine of 19th April over the way the televising of Select and Standing Committees can be something of a lottery because of a haphazard pricing structure which can result in broadcasting organisations being asked to pay up to ??2,000 for the television feed of a two-and-a-half-hour Committee hearings; believes that Committee hearings which are of interest on editorial grounds should not go unrecorded soley because of cost; and calls on the Lord President of the Council and the Broadcasting Select Committee to have discussions with the independent contractor, CCT Productions Ltd., so as to agree a pricing structure which meets the needs of the smaller regional companies and programmes as well as those of the national news networks.

That this House is appalled at the news that J. Sainsbury plc, like Woolworth's, not content with flagrant law-breaking, are now planning to make Sunday work compulsory and to pay less than premium remuneration to the staff involved; condemns this action unreservedly as an attack on the families and living standards of the staff and upon their rights to freedom from work on this special day of the week; notes that there are no effective legal safeguards for staff in this situation of unacceptable pressure being brought to bear on them; further notes that J. Sainsbury plc is, like the Kingfisher/Woolworth Group, a leading member of the Shopping Hours Reform Council and donor to Conservative Party funds; and calls upon the Government, yet again, to enforce the law and to support reform which will effectively safeguard the families and interests of all staff, namely the REST Proposals.

That this House calls for a full parliamentary inquiry into the financial and administrative actions of the Mid-Glamorgan Training and Enterprise Council and other training and enterprise councils in Britain; notes with concern that the officers of the Mid-Glamorgan Training and Enterprise Council are making wide ranging decisions without consultation with members of the Board; that these Board members are only called upon to endorse the actions of their paid officers; further notes that the decisions made by these officers are not only causing disruption to trainees on courses but are taking away training managers' future involvement in training and are causing great financial hardship for training companies, particularly in respect of long-term leasing arrangements, capital investment &c. that these companies have had to make in order to give proper training facilities; and, in view of this, calls for adequate financial reimbursement to be made to cover these costs.
