72. Mr. Neil Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he proposes to publish the Report of the committee of inquiry chaired by Mr. Robin Auld, QC, into proposals to amend the Shops Act.

Mr. Mellor

We hope to receive the report of this committee in the early autumn and to be in a position to publish it very soon thereafter. My right hon. and learned Friend would obviously want an opportunity of considering the report's findings before making any statement.
