94. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked the Home Secretary whether, in connection with the Order for early closing of shops, any proposal has been considered for keeping open shops to a later hour for, say, two weeks in December and one week in January in view of the Christmas and New Year trade; and whether any decision has been arrived at?
Mr. SAMUELAs I have already stated, this matter will be considered after I have received the views of the local authorities whom I have consulted on the point. The case of Scotland will be considered by the Secretary for Scotland.
