§ 21. Sir I. Fraserasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider introducing legislation to implement the proposals in the Gowers Report to raise from 18 to 23 the number of Sundays on which certain shops in holiday resorts may remain open.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeThis point is included in the suggested provisions for amending shops legislation which I recently sent to interested representative organisations as a basis for discussion.
§ Sir I. FraserWill my right hon. and learned Friend and the Government have in mind the very great importance to holiday and seaside towns, as well as to all the people who take holidays, of anything we can do to lengthen the season, and that this will be a help?
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeI will certainly bear that in mind.
