§ Mr. Robert N. Wareing (Liverpool, West Derby)I beg leave to present a petition on behalf of 110 parishioners of the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows in Stopgate lane, Liverpool, expressing opposition to the Shops Bill which is at present before Parliament.
I agree fully with my constituents that Sunday has
special characteristics as a day of rest, recreation and worship for the benefit of our family and community life.My petitioners urge this House tomaintain legal limitations on Sunday Trading to ensure that the special character of Sunday is protected.I hope that the House will take due cognisance of their prayer.
§ To lie upon the Table.
