§ 27. Sir Fergus Montgomeryasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many representations he has received regarding the reform of shop hours' legislation.
§ Mr. MellorI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given earlier today to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Romsey and Waterside (Mr. Colvin).
§ Sir Fergus MontgomeryWill my hon. Friend take into account representations by people all over the country, because opinions on the issue vary in the different regions?
§ Mr. MellorYes, Sir.
§ Mr. Peter BruinvelsAs it is likely that Sunday trading will be introduced—I am sorry to say — will my hon. Friend consider insisting that stores which are allowed to trade on a Sunday close on another day of the week?
§ Mr. MellorAll opinions will be considered.
