54. Sir H. DALZIELasked the Home Secretary whether he can inform the House of the modifications that have taken place in his original Regulation in respect to the limitation of evening trading?
Mr. SAMUELThe modifications made by the Amending Order of 27th October, which were announced in the Press at the time, were as follows: the closing hour where it was 7 was altered to 8; the exemption for meals was extended to include any refreshments consumed on the premises, and tobacco supplied at a meal for immediate consumption; and an exemption was added for the sale of motor or cycle supplies or accessories for immediate use.
§ Mr. BOOTHIs my right hon. Friend aware that in the exceptions he has given he is showing rather the disadvantages of this Regulation and how it can be evaded?
§ 56. Mr. W. THORNEasked what alteration he has made in the Early Closing Order since Monday, 30th October?
