HC Deb 08 March 1968 vol 760 cc184-5W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek to repeal the provisions of the Shops Act, 1950 relating to Sunday trading.

Mr. Ennals

The Government has made it clear that in its view the Sunday trading recommendations of the Departmental Committee on Sunday Observance represent a reasonable basis for eliminating the worst anomalies of the present situation. I understand that a Private Member's Bill to implement those recommendations is likely to be introduced in another place shortly.
