§ 82. Mr. FREEMANasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he proposes to take with regard to the resolution he has received from the quarter sessions of Breconshire, calling attention to illicit Sunday trading carried on mainly by foreigners under the guise of supplying refreshments?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Short)The Resolution referred to asked for amending legislation to strengthen the provisions of the Sunday Observance Act against Sunday trading. My right hon. Friend sympathises with the object in view, but experience has shown that this matter is highly controversial, and he regrets that in the state of public business he can see no prospect of any Government legislation on this subject at present.
