HC Deb 22 January 1993 vol 217 c419W
Mr. Luff

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to include the recent proposals of high street retailers in his consultations on, the reform of Sunday trading laws; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

My right hon. and learned Friend is referring to the proposals for reform which have been drawn up by Marks and Spencer plc and other leading high street retailers. I met representatives of the traders on 3 November 1992 to discuss the proposals. At this stage we have no plans to include the model as one of the options to be put before the House.

Mr. Luff

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what recent representations he has received from high street retailers on the reform of Sunday trading legislation.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Since 20 October 1992, we have received 83 written representations from retailers on this issue.
