HC Deb 09 November 1973 vol 863 c269W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider introducing legislation, following the High Court judgment in the case of L. F. Stone and Son of Romford, to allow shops to run after-hours promotions.

Mr. Lane

My right hon. Friend is aware that the present law has been criticised as unnecessarily restrictive. But he cannot foresee an early opportunity for Government legislation on the subject.
