HC Deb 27 February 1958 vol 583 c70W
108. Mr. Osborne

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to permit shops in seaside towns like Cleethorpes to open on more than 18 Sundays in the year, in view of the fact that rents have increased some 120 per cent., wages 75 per cent. and rates 200 per cent., that whilst fancy goods, buckets and spades, are not allowed to be sold they can be given away in the amusement arcades, and that an extra eight days' Sunday openings would be an added amenity to visitors.

Mr. R. A. Butler

This would require legislation, about which I can give no undertaking.
