HC Deb 04 November 1958 vol 594 c43W
Mr. Owen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware of the recent decision of Lord Goddard. in which it is affirmed that mobile shops trading on Sundays, and statutory half-days, do not come within the Shops Act, 1950; and, as this can develop into unfair competition for ordinary shopkeepers, if he will make a statement of Government policy to deal with this matter.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I can hold out no prospect of Government legislation on this subject at present.
