HC Deb 07 February 1977 vol 925 c521W
32. Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will set up an inquiry into the effect on consumers of the Sunday trading restrictions on trade.

Dr. Summerskill

No. The inquiry conducted 12 years ago by the Crathorne Committee on the Law on Sunday Observance did not result in any general agreement on whether or how the law should be amended. I have no reason to think that a further inquiry would have a different result.
